crystal light area!

The Wal-Mart on Grandview Hwy has them too. Saw them a couple of days ago, lots of flavors but I'm unsure about decaffinated.

 last week at Nooshin's class I mentioned a shot of Mio "water enhancer" made it easier to get in lots of fluids...but that I'd only seen it in the US...

not anymore! Found some at Superstore in Richmond - not all the flavours, and none of the caffeinated kind, but still - yay! 3.99 for the bottle, same price that I paid in WA.

yay!

Welcome to the loser`s bench.

You won`t get all your liquids in but do the best you can.  Your body can feed off the fat deposits, but you need your liquids.  Don`t push yourself to get too much in; you are healing and don`t need to stress your new stomach.

Sip, sip, walk, rest, sip, sip, walk, rest....

Head hunger is normal...think of someone quitting smoking and who keeps missing that cigarette...it`s the same thing..... something missing in the hand or mouth.  Keep busy with other things...chew gum (just don`t swallow it!!), read In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, Dr. Gabor Mate and just find different patterns that don`t associate food with a specific task..ie.  at coffee break, go for a walk rather than to the coffee shop where you will want to have a muffin with your coffee or tea, etc....

Good luck!

sip sip sip... it will get easier!! you will not be able to get all in at first it will take time, it will happen,, slow and easy. You will get there .. so sip walk rest repeat.. welcome to the loser's bench!
