I'm drinking! I'm drinking! I'm drinking!

I'm drinking! I'm drinking! I'm drinking! And it's not getting stuck!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! I am not burping it right back up!! It's not causing tummy heaves or mouth sweats. I'm drinking!!!!

So, should I Water down my gatorade?I like it better than Crystal light, I've had less than 50 calories in 3.5 days and for today, I think I need to take what I can get. I don't mind it watered down but I do think I need the electrolytes Crystal Light won't provide.

Did I tell you that I am finally drinking???

Oh em gee! It's like Christmas with really foul breath. I am DRINKING!!!!

[SmilingEyes 29]

it is a wonderful thing when we can finally drink.... i remember them days.. keep up the good work!

YAY!!!

You need more calories, though.

Try light fruit juice for a couple of your hour's worth of liquid.

ALSO- you need Protein. Make up a Protein shake with 2%-whole milk and Protein powder. My nutritionist said that when you're just doing liquid, it's really easy to not get enough dietary fat, which can slow down weight loss and generally be bad for you.

I was instructed to have 3c of milk with Protein in it per day during liquid phase.

After I get 8 ounces down of liquids, I am going to break out a Protein shake. I am just afraid if I don't get some liquid down, I will be too full to try and this is a first in three days. I got 6 ounces down in 30 minutes and I don't feel like I am going to burst.

DID I TELL YOU ALL THAT I AM DRINKING!?!?!?!?!?!

Is that sugar free gatorade you are drinking? Because even sugar free can contain sugar alcohols or xylitol which are harsh on your new tum. Isopure is a trustworthy source.

Regular old Gatorade that is watered down 50/50.

You need to give us a bit more information.

So are you able to drink yet?

Good job! Keep it up. Anything that will stay down is great! Even munching on ice chips. The G2 is great and so is poweraid zero!!

Keep walking and sounding the "trumpets!" :) :) :)

[LipstickLady 25,682]

Oh, there will be no butt trumpets here unless I am sitting on the pot. How in the world could I be (TMI) making this weird sludge if I have nothing in my system? It's disgusting and I am so afraid that I am going to shart. Butt trumpets are for potties only for now.

[newat52 1,612]

LMAO! I hear ya! Ya might have to sit there with your drink!

It's gonna get so much better!

Hang in there!

[LipstickLady 25,682]

HA! I don't have much of a choice, do I?

Good news? I've lost the Water weight from the hospital plus .8 pounds. I'm on my way to even greater hotness!

[newat52 1,612]

Well on your way, I'd say!

As long as you are drinking! You can sit there and have a rootin, tootin good time! :P

[MIJourney 490]

Great news!!!

I hope today is the day I get more liquids in.

I can feel it's going to happen.

[LipstickLady 25,682]

You will know. I woke up feeling magical. Like a fairy all covered in ketosis breath smelling glitter.
