I can't wait till I lose that much. Bout how many calories do you eat a day? I'm about a mth n I eat about 400 to 600calories. Is that to much?

My surgery was 4-22 and I average about 600-800 calories a day. I make sure to always get my Protein in even if I have to do 2 shakes a day and my Water is always over 100oz easily.

I drink out of my Blender Bottle which is 20oz. I easily drink 5 a day. Many times more. I dont work though so that makes it much easier. If I was working that would never happen.

The colder the better for me to drink and get my fluids in. Also smaller cups and bottles work for me I drink more. I love hugs lite and 8oz Water bottles.

Good idea. Because it always gets Hot before I drink it..

Thank u so much for your positive words. I have lost my mother yesterday to cancer and so your kind positive words are a change of pace. It's hard to continue being healthy when all I want to do is chow down on junk food. But I know my life will continue after this and I can't let myself down now.

so sorry for your loss, I lost my mom 21 years ago and as time goes on it does get easier to deal with the pain. I'll keep you in my prayers.

I am very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you. I lost my mother to cancer 2 years ago Monday, if you need anyone to talk to please don't hesitate.
