1:20 P.M. FLUID CHECK

16 oz coffee
 8 oz apple drink
12 oz water


I have to drink more I am falling behind today.


How are you guys doing?

Since my last update, I have finished another 32 oz. hot tea and 23.7 oz. of iced tea. I am currently sipping a fresh 32 oz.hot tea (just started this one).

Not counting the one I am just starting, I have had 87.7 oz. so far.

So, I am having a good day.

You see didn't I tell you I want to be just like you when I grow up!  Great job!

I've had 30 ounces of coffee so far.  getting a late start to my day really has thrown me off but I just made a pitcher of watered down crystal light because I'm running out of tea and I cna't get any more.........gonna give the crystal light another try since it's been about 8 months since I tried it last at full strength.

Well maybe it will be different this time around. I never liked crystal light pre op or post op.

We buy the s/f drinks at walmart that makes pitchers of s/f drink and they are really good. s/f and no calories. 

I totally lived in crystal light pre-op.....I was very disappointed when it made me sick post-op.....so hopefully with it being diluted it'll be better.

Hey Aaron, While the drink mixes never made me sick, there are definitely some that I think are stronger than others, and then there are others that I simply don't like. I had to experiment until I found the flavors that I like the most. Of course there are the Crystal light brands. Then there are the Wal Mart brands, Four Cs, and Ocean Spray. I really like the Ocean Spray Cran Peach. I also think your idea of diluting a bit is a good idea too. I wish we were closer by each other, I could give you a sampler of some fo the flavors that I have to try. For the ones that you do not like as drinks, remember you can use them in recipes (so they don't go to waste). Someone on this board mentioned using a little of the drink mix in their Greek Yogurt.

Happy Drinking!

Oh, Another Idea - When you go to a restaurant, what do you like to get to drink? Do you like water with a twist of lemon. lime, or orange? If so, there is this line of products called True Lemon, True LIme, and True Orange. Each of them is pure crystalized Lemon, Lime, or Orange. There is nothing added! I keep these on hand and when I travel as well. Plus they are great to use in recipes. You never have to worry about fruit going bad and the taste is very natural. I have found these in some stores in the spices aisle and in others in the coffee/tea asile, just in case you decide to try them.

P.S. The company that makes these is right here in Maryland! http://www.truelemon.com/

Well, let's see, I finished my 8oz hot cocoa protein drink..and I've had about 11 ounces of propel so far...but the good news is my protein is good so far today!!hahaha

I plan on finishing off this propel and having at least 1 cup of tea by the next time you post!!haha
