Q.O.D..Day 5

Good Morning fellow Decemberites Thought I would ask an easy question for this beautiful Saturday morning How are you getting your fluids? H20, Fruit20, etc. I drink one mug of coffee (fully loaded) in the morning and then the rest of the day I drink Dasani (I think it must be spiked, because it is the only water that tastes good to me) (Actually, I know it does have some minerals added.) I try to drink at least 4, 16oz bottles a day...I need to try and increase that number Have a wonderful day, Jackie

Good morning Jackie, I thought it was funny that you mention Dasani water. It was my favorite too! I think it tastes the best also. I heard on the news last week that Dasani is bottled by the Coca Cola bottleing company and that they (whoever THEY are, the powers that be) were getting onto them because dasani is nothing more than TAP water from thier bottling company in London! I was very dissapointed to hear that. I haven't decided whether I will stop drinking it yet, I wish my tap water tasted like Dasani! Just thought you might like to know that little tidbit! I sure TRY to get all of my water in per day! BTW, what is Fruit20? Happy Saturday! Tracy

Fruit2o is this fruity water. Lisa G likes it so maybe she would be better at telling you about it...I personally don't like it

I used to love water pre-op but have a hard time with it now. Strange, huh? So now I depend a lot on various flavors of Crystal Light. I also like Diet V8 Splash, SF Tang, and SF Kool Aid Tropical Punch. I just recently started buying flavored sparkling water from Walmart. I especially like the Key Lime. There are lots of options, and try to drink as much as possible. I am finding it really does make a difference. Cheryl

I need to get a little more adventerous

Well, I am not very brave at all, I drink coffee in the morning and then the rest of the day its water. Have bottled water at work and at home, can't drink it from the tap....I tried the crystal lite, but so far its to sweet.

Water was hard to drink in the beginning and I got used to drinking Fruit2O which is a no calorie flavored water, sweetened with Splenda. Sometimes I drink Propel which is a diet version of Gatorade, but it is pretty sweet and has I think 10 calories per serving (a bottle is 2 servings). I lose track of how much I drink unless I have the actual 4 bottles out for the day and I can see when they're gone! Lisa G

I have never drank coffe or tea. I was a big diet soda drinker before WLS which I quit cold turkey like 6 months before surgery. I drink crystal light...but I am getting kinda tired of it. I just tried some 1/2 less sugar oj today and it was GREAT. However , I cant live off the juice. I have a hard time getting in 64 oz of water. In the evenings I chew on crushed ice which counts as a liquid right. I need to up the fluids but it is very hard... karie

I drink Fruit 2 O plus (blue bottles) because of all the added vitamins andother good stuff. I also drink Popel and straigh****er.

Hi December Losers WOW!!!!!!!! I was a serious coffee drinker before Dec. 22. The last two times I tried to drink coffee, I got a bad case of gassssss. But almost everything I eat besides protein shakes, bars, or yogurt gives me gas now. I have to take Gas X on a daily basis. I now drink 2-3 mugs of green tea instead. It counts as water 20- 30 oz. and is filled with antioxidants. In the morning I have 30 g. of Designer Whey protein followed by my multi vitamin, B-complex vitamin, calcium-D-magn. vitamin. I drink two 24 oz bottles of Mountain Ice during the day. I've only lost 40 pounds so far. But I should be grateful becasue I've never lost that much weight on a diet before and definitely couldn't keep it off. Collette
