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!!!! :-)

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
