Confession: I SUCKED getting my liquids in yesterday! Up .2 lbs this am!

So in my first month blog yesterday morning, I put one of my first month lessons learned that I lose better when I get my fluids in. Of course, yesterday I didn't get anywhere near what I was supposed to. I was thrown off first thing and then never recovered. The bod rewarded me with a .2 gain this morning, which I am neither surprised nor worried about. I am posting this to say, see? Liquids are magical. And to note i wasn't wearing my water rings yesterday, but will be today! And finally, to say I'm going to get my first 16 oz in before I even start my day.

Good plan!  You'll rock your water today for sure!

Thanks! I have found it easy to get in 16oz while catching up on back episodes of Revenge (my post-op guilty pleasure).

I am only a little over a week out from my surgery.  It is nice to see that from someone 1 month out that a person can drink water again faster.  I LOVE water - I drank it a lot before surgery.  I am frustrated that I can only take little sips and I need to do that slowly. 

It'll get better! Experiment with temperatures and flavors. Early on, I found warm tea to be soothing. Now, I enjoy a 1/2 packet of propel zero or a partial packet of realLime granules in 16 oz of water just to change the flavor. And, i can manage room temp liquids better than cold now. I still cannot drink at the pace I once did, but it is better.

I don't like water does fat free milk count? That will be a challenge for me

My clear liquids included skim milk on my doc's clear liquid diet. Check with your doc for details, though.

Your not supposed to suck to get liquids in ... you are supposed to sip ... lol.
