.....eating slowly. I still can barely bother sitting down at the table because I won't be there that long. It's like I find eating slightly annoying, so I want to get it over with as quickly as possible.

drinking enough Water. Right after the surgery I was able to sip water and did get the 96 oz a day most days. However, in the past few months I have not been keeping up with this goal. I average 30 oz a day. I know I need to drink more but don't seem to be able to keep up with the "sipping" all day long. I can take 5-6 swallows at one time and then forget to drink again for a few hours.

Planning my meals and sticking to my plan.

Drinking my Water.

Eating slowly! I hate it! I just want to eat and get on with it!

Getting my vitamins in! Ugh, I don't know what my problem is, but I've noticed if it's a super busy Saturday, I'll notice on Sunday that I forgot

to take half of them from the day before. I have to space most of them out because they make me feel sick. Any advice to this would be helpful!

eating slowly.. for sure...

Water... head hunger

Eating the same sh*% over and over! No variety in my diet. I've got a handful of things I know meet my calorie/carb/ Protein marks so I just stick with them

Oh and also jack and diet coke. I'm gonna take heat for that one. Lol

Eating slowly.

Taking my Vitamins.

Every shake is sweet. I've actually gotten tired of sweet stuff! If you had told me that BEFORE surgery--I'd never have believed it. I want something other than sweet in my mouth. Guess it's time for some "alone" time with my dear husband 'wink'---Sorry I'd use smileys and such but the firewall at work stops me from being able to do so. Speaking of which--I'd better get back to work.

i struggle with not being able to eat and drink together. I get extremely thirsty and sometimes want to sip right away...head hunger as well.

Eating slowly, sitting at the kitchen table for a meal, and drinking enough water.

bad news

i also struggle sometimes with the fact that i eat faster than i should, or that i don't get all my Water in :mellow:

i also should change my foods up, variety is key???

good news????

i now realize that "I'm the only one" with this prob or that

i see i'm in good company :blush:

all we can do is keep plugging away and do our best
