Liquid????

WELL, MS KEKE ... WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT EACH OTHER? OUR WLS FRIENDS KEEP US GOING, RIGHT? HOW HAS EVERYTHING BEEN GOING FOR YOU? I REMEMBER YOU STARTED OUT WITH A HURRICANE CHASING YOU TO THE HOSPITAL ... HOPE THINGS CALMED DOWN AFTER THAT & YOU HAVE BEEN SEEING WONDERFUL CHANGES IN YOURSELF & YOUR HEALTH! CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS DAWN & NICK

Lady D Things are going well other than me being tired all the time. I guess it's because my potatssium is too low. I go to my PCP today and we'll see how it goes. Take care of yourself. I truly appreciate your friendship! Keke

I also find that the regular crystal lite mix is a bit sweet for me, so I dilute it a bit. I like those individual packs that you put into bottled water. My surgeon puts flat caffeine free soda on his list of OK liquids. I would sell my soul for a diet coke somedays, but haven't tried it flat yet. I hated it flat before, and I probably would now. A little bit of 100% juice diluted with water is not bad as well. Brenda

I buy 2 liters of diet ginger ale, and I shake it and shake it until there aren't any bubbles left, then, I pour myself a glass and wait an hour before I drink it. I like the 2 liters best because the go flat faster. I also love sugar free Kool Aid. I never liked Kool Aid before, but the sugar free one is great. My entire family loves it. Sharon

YOU CAN HAVE A CAFFEINE-FREE DIET DR PEPPER, MS MISTY ... AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT MY NUTRITIONIST SAID ... BUT, BUT, BUT ... ANY C-F, S-F SODA YOU DRINK MUST BE FLAT ... NO CARBONATION ... OPEN THE CAN & LET IT REST FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR. THE CARBONATION IS HARD ON THE POUCH & TENDS TO STRETCH IT IS WHAT I WAS TOLD. BUT, DRINKING C-F, S-F SODA FLAT IS NO DIFFERENT THAN DRINKING ANY OTHER NON-CARBONATED DRINK. I ALSO LIKE CRYSTAL LITE & SMUCKERS LITE FALVORED "TEAS", MINUTE MAID LIGHT FRUIT DRINKS LIKE STRAWBERRY PASSION ... GUAVA, MANGO & ONE OTHER FLAVOR I CAN'T REMEMBER ... HERB TEAS, ESPECIALLY SPEARMINT/PEPPERMINT ARE GOOD & DECAF COFFEE (ON SUNDAY MORNINGS WITH MY HUBBY) IS A NICE CHANGE, MS MISTY. CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS DAWN & NICK

HI Misty, I know the feeling with the limited things we have to drink, I would do anything for a CF Diet Dr. Pepper too..that was always my favorite!!! I'm not much for the Crystal Light, but really like Gatorade, and even more Propel, it's made by Gatorade. It's like flavored water, but it actually has sugar in it instead of splenda. I can't handle Crystal Light because it's too sweet for me too. I know you said your sick of decaf tea, but have you tried the flavored teas??? Walmart carries their version of Crystal Light teas, and kool aid type drinks and I've heard they are good too!!! Best wishes in your WLJ...keep up the great work!!! ~~~ Shari
