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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
