WEDNESDAY'S FLUID CHECK

My drive to work took so long this a.m. that I was able to drink a 30 oz. iced coffee AND a 16.9 oz. bottle of water!!!!  As you can imagine, I RAN to the bathroom as soon as my feet hit the parking lot!!  LOL!!!

In addition to that, I've had:

20 oz. coffee
48 oz. water with s/f apple drink

Next!!!!!!!!!

I sang all the way to work so I was lucky to get my 20 oz. protein shake down!  LOL!

I'm slow today, so far:

20 oz. protein shake
16 oz. tea

just finished lunch but have a 20 oz. CL waiting for me in 30 minutes!

32 ounce diet lemonade

20 ounce fuji apple/pear sobe

That would account for the unending rain!

So far:

16.9 oz Orange CL
20 oz Vitamin Water 10 (tropical Citrus - YUCKY - will never buy another one of these)
20 oz. CL iced tea
20 oz regular iced tea

and I'm half way through a 20 oz Diet Green Team


Wow.....I've certainly had a variety today

Christy -

Sometimes, with fluids AND food, variety is the key!

Nice new avie, btw!

My fluid intake is halting :(  It is making my stomach roll every time I drink more than a sip at a time...

I have only gotten in about 24 ounces all day...

8 water, 16 Wyler's Cherry that I have been working on since about 10 am... Ugh!

Yesterday I never got past 50 ounces :(

AND they cancelled my appt for this afternoon with the surgeon so now I have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to weigh in for my one month surgiversary!

AND for a final complaint, it is STILL raining!  At least something is getting their fluids in!

Angie -

At the risk of sounding like I'm spouting platitudes - breathe!!!!  It WILL get easier to get fluids in.  You're only a month out.  Sipping is still best at this point.  You may find that hot (not boiling) tea goes down easier - they make some great decaf flavored teas - ginger and peppermint are especially soothing to some pouches.

I'm sorry they cancelled your appointment, but we'll celebrate with you tomorrow when you weigh in.

Yes, it's still raining.  Buckets.  BUT.....the weekend is looking nice!!!  

Hugs,

Tia

I know, I know... But I feel like I am crawling out of my skin it is so dry.  My heart keeps beating so I notice it, and I know it is from being dehydrated...

I just want to be "able" to drink normal... Eating I can live without, this dry skin from lack of fluids I cannot live with...  Errr well I guess I don't have much choice, but I will overcome and learn to drink more!!

The weekend needs to come faster...
