This Water Thing



Recommended Posts

Ok! I have GOT to get this Water thing figured out! I think I drank about 20 oz today and that just is NOT good! I don't know what my problem is! It's like I forget to drink when I am allowed to. I want to drink when I can't... and I don't but this is driving me crazy!!! Very frustrated with myself!

And today was the first day I have actually snacked. Today was really the first day I wanted food.

I am making it sound worse than it was. They had a meeting today and served pita chips and hummus. I have never had hummus so I wanted to try it. I had a pita chip the size of a quarter and some hummus on it. (yum, btw!) Then I came home and had a bite of chicken salad. So it was literally 2 bites of food I should not have had so the world isn't going to collapse but still... LOL

So I am thinking of doing a food log thingie thread on here. Kind of like the one on the food thread. I would like to see what my fellow 'july' peeps are eating.

Lisa, FWIW my water bottle has become an extention of my arm :-P. I keep a Water bottle by my bed, by my computer, and one filled to grab on the way to the gym. To some extent I treat water as 'medicine' and PLAN times to 'take' it. First thing in the morning I drink at least 16 ounces with my suppliments, I drink at least 24 oz at the gym, and I drink at least 24 oz at night watching TV, or reading, or whatever. Right there I've had my gallon, and on top of that I may have a few glasses during the day. It's just a matter of making it a habit.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
