Delish Summer Drink to get ur liquids in



Recommended Posts

Hey all just wanted to share what me and my bff made the other night together that was sooo yummy!! We took a whole cantelope and blended it down in the nutribullet and added about 3x the amount of Water and artificial sweetner to it for a REAL fresh drink option during the liquid stage because plain water can sometimes get a little boring and I was also missing my soda, especially now that its summer time and so warm! This fresh juice drink killed my craving and was super yummy!! Best part u can make it as sweet or not as you want! I def got all my liquids in that day and even had my fruit but lowwww sugar content! This can be done with any of your fave fruits like pinapple, strawberries etc. Love LOVE these simple juice ideas because most things out there for diet drinks arent very tasty. :-)

Not sure how far along you are but pineapple and strawberries would not be allowed for awhile; pineapple is very fibrous and strawberries have seeds. Melons are also very high in carbs(sugar). Not something that I would suggest indulging in every day.

A whole large cantelope has about 200 calories on average and yes it contains natural sugars however, this one cantelope makes about a gallon of juice.... doubt you could even drink half that in a day so im not too worried about the calorie content at this point as in the liquid stage we can hardly eat about 400-600 calories per day so im pretty sure its alright. Plus a whole cantelope also has 4grms of protien. Maybe one could add protien powder to this as well for an extra shot of protien to make it even more beneficial.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
