This Water Thing



Recommended Posts

Ok! I have GOT to get this Water thing figured out! I think I drank about 20 oz today and that just is NOT good! I don't know what my problem is! It's like I forget to drink when I am allowed to. I want to drink when I can't... and I don't but this is driving me crazy!!! Very frustrated with myself!

And today was the first day I have actually snacked. Today was really the first day I wanted food.

I am making it sound worse than it was. They had a meeting today and served pita chips and hummus. I have never had hummus so I wanted to try it. I had a pita chip the size of a quarter and some hummus on it. (yum, btw!) Then I came home and had a bite of chicken salad. So it was literally 2 bites of food I should not have had so the world isn't going to collapse but still... LOL

So I am thinking of doing a food log thingie thread on here. Kind of like the one on the food thread. I would like to see what my fellow 'july' peeps are eating.

Lisa, FWIW my water bottle has become an extention of my arm :-P. I keep a Water bottle by my bed, by my computer, and one filled to grab on the way to the gym. To some extent I treat water as 'medicine' and PLAN times to 'take' it. First thing in the morning I drink at least 16 ounces with my suppliments, I drink at least 24 oz at the gym, and I drink at least 24 oz at night watching TV, or reading, or whatever. Right there I've had my gallon, and on top of that I may have a few glasses during the day. It's just a matter of making it a habit.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
