***Thursday Bites, Vites & Exercites***

 Can you please tell me about your protein iced tea? Thanks so much! Aliee

The one I have isn't all that great because it tastes kinda funny and can get gloppy unless you use a blender but I have a big jar.  It is called  4 Ever Fit lemon tea.
I know Syntrax has an iced tea and next time I'm going to try that one. 

You can also add unflavored protein powder to regular iced tea sweetened with Splenda, but again it is going to have that thicker consistence than regular tea. 

Meh - just trying to get in my protein and I'm still a tea lovin' Southern girl at heart.  If I ever find the perfect one, I'll let you all know.

P.S. - Gina - that's for the encouragement.  I'm really trying to be mindful about what I am doing and V&B really helps.  Not only does it remind me to get in real food, but the things others eat are great ideas for incorporating into my new DS lifestyle.  

You had a great day for Bites today. Nice numbers!

Breakfast: 2 sips Boost
Lunch: in town too late, ate at a restaurant. The only thing on the menu soft enough for me was Shepherds pie. I left mashed potatoes and ate the meat and sauce. It was delicious! 20 minutes later I was iin the bathroom, must have been very fatty? About 3 bites.

Snack: 1 bite Shepherds pie. No bathroom issues this time.
Supper: Loved Shepherds pie so much decided to try it again. 2 bites only fit but was tasty! No bathroom issues this time.

Decided to stop sipping and start drinking normally, not gulps but just normal sips. Threw caution to the wind and hoped it would be ok. It was. My stomach didn't seem any different either way. So I got down 45 ounces approx. 

Yeah, there's no explaining why you get reactions like you do early post-op. Looks like you're making improvements in your fluids. Keep after them.
