Summertime Liquid Calories Help Me Stay Cool And Refreshed !!



Recommended Posts

Its starting to warm up and I'm starting to freak out about the summer and all the cool sugary calorie filled drinks !! I've never been a person to drink my calories but I was an avid diet coke drinker. Now that I can't have carbonated drinks and dont care for iced tea I'm a little stuck !! I know if I plan ahead I can make my own smoothies but what else can u do in the fast paced summertime??

I used to drink diet coke -- 12 a day -- and have been drinking diet drinks for over 40 years. I am SO grateful that is no longer an option & I am free of that addiction. I think I lost 10 lbs just from stopping that.

I have started drinking crystal light. It's too sweet to me so I add more Water. I also drink Protein shakes. And make cool meals. I don't cook & live in TX & we had 3 months of 100 degree weather last year. So, I would also love some cool ideas.

Experiment with fruit tisanes and herbal teas. There are some really good ones out there. I tend to like ones described as "tropical".

Cucumber Water as mentioned above is also fantastic.

Have you heard of Mio...they are zero sugar, cals, & carbs...There are a ton of flavors...you squirt them into your Water. I also drink Powerade Zero and Wylers sugar free koolaid stuff...make a big pitcher of it.

Try the Mio squeeze bottles too. They come in various flavors: sweet tea, peach, fruit punch, berry pomegranate, lemonade, blueberry lemonade, etc. You just squeeze however much "flavor" you want into Water.< /p>

Cucumber Water is awesome! Also adding oranges' date=' lemons, grapefruit, stawberries, raspberries, etc. it's very refreshing. The cucumber which tends to be naturally salty also makes me commune more!!!! :-)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
