Good Friday Morning Everybody!

Good Friday Morning Everybody! So how is everyone this morning? I'm just really glad it's Friday. It's thundering and the rain is pouring down here and the power just flickered and we're on backup power. I guess it'll be a day of "save early and save often". I have a co-worker who just lost 15 pages of data...ouchie! How goes the eating/drinking/supplements/protein and exercise? I'm back on track with eating and I braved the scale today. I'm up 7lbs in the past month. I knew it wasn't going to be pretty. I always get a minimum of 64oz of water in and I always get at least 60g of protein and I take my supplements everyday. I've got a busy day here at work and a busy weekend planned. I'm not sure when I'll get back on here to read/post. If I don't get back on here today, everybody have a great weekend! Take Care, Terry

you have a good day too - sounds like you ans mr. mcsweetie are geting pretty serious!!! I'm happy for you. Have a good weekend.

Goodmorning Terry! Yes it we had a few power surges in the middle of the night. I hope you have a good day despite of all the thundering and flickering power. I feel bad for your co worker Yikes! I am sorry you have gained 7 pounds but I know you will lose them. I think McSweetie is giving you too much sweet kisses lol I just posted a response to you on another thread and I was saying I have a major issue on getting all my fluids. i get the vitamins in just fine, the protein I am doing better since I am eating better now but liquids. I suck big time. Yesterday I struggled to drink like 20 ounces I don't want to damage my kidneys or get dehydrated. I used to like crystal light and all other drinks like that before but after surgery I can't stand the taste so I struggle with the water. I will keep trying harder. Hugs, Cira

I have trouble with Crystal Lite and those type drinks. I can't do nutrasweet/aspartame (gives me horrible headaches). I do much better with Splenda. I have found that I do really well with non-carbonated flavored waters. Some of them have kind of an "afterburn" after you swallow them (not sure how to describe it other than afterburn). I try to avoid them. Those that I have found that do not have an afterburn are: Dasani Strawberry Aquafina Flavored Water (grape and mixed berry okay so far) Fruit2O (some of the original flavors) Fruit2O (all of the new flavors that are vitamin enhanced) They have flavors like Berry Pomegranate, Raspberry and Strawberry/Tangerine. They're delicious. I get them by the case at BJ's/Sam's/Costco. All of the Nestle Pure Life flavored waters have the afterburn. The Dasani Lemon and Raspberry also have the afterburn. HTH Take Care, Terry

Hi Terry thanks for the info I will try the other stuff. But I can't stan Fruit 2 O either. I think I have kiwi strawberry. I will try the others. Guess what? I ate tuna for lunch and it got stuck. I had been doing great with it all along and today Ihad that awful feeling again. I was miserable for almost an hour until the offending yucky tuna came up. My first throw up with foamies. I defintiely do not like this at all. Take care Cira

Poor Cira!! It's a heck of a way to learn what you can and can't eat, isn't it? You know what? I'd rather dump 20 times a day than have stuck food once! Yeah, the foamies are nasty, too - that's the way Molly the Beagle pukes!!!!! Be careful, your pouch might be tender for a day or so. Tia

Hi Tia, I had ate tuna fine for the past 2 weeks until today! Yuck now I don't want to see ,smell or even talk about tuna anymore. lol My dog Lucky pukes the same way and it got me all grossed out while it was happening to me. Thank goodness I didn't lick right back up like Lucky does! LOL My pouch feels very tender now and I have a little pain. I am making home chicken soup and that is all I am having until I feel better. I am not taking any chances. how are you doing? Hugs, Cira
