Hump Day Coffee Anyone !!!!

Good Morning Michigan, How is everyone one this Hump Day? I'm drinking my old stand by and  think  all I have left to paint is the trim....yea for me !!!! Had a good night sleep and all rested up for a fun day outside...Plowing

The Q for the day............. How much water do you drink a day ? do you think it too much? and why?

For me ...... I try to get 100 oz a day  , Some of the days it a lot , and other it not. Bandsters need at least this each day.

  Hope all is well in your home..    Have a great day !!

Good Morning Randy and all,

I am drinking Pam T's protien chia tea.  It is very delish and addicting.  I will have a cup of coffee when I get to work.  Nothing on my commute today to drink, roads are to icky.

QFTD - I drink around 96 oz of water a day.  If I don't I just don't feel good.  I feel energized at that amount.  If I go over 120 oz, I start salt cravings which is not a good thing for me. 

Hopefully everyone is back to work yesterday.  I was the only one in the office, we had 3 out sick or home with kids.  My son is home today running a slight temp and puking during the night.   He would probably be ok at school today, but if he would get sick it is a 45 minute drive for me to go get him from school.  He will be home with grandma instead.  I assume she will enjoy the company.

Have a great day

Pam

Good morning guys and gals.Thanks for the link Pam,some great things on there I will have to try when I am able to tolerate a bit more.The last few days I havent tolerated things very well.I get at least my 64 ozs every day sometimes more but never less.I am not to excited about this darn snow I am quite tired of it actually.Have a nice day everyone.

Don't get discouraged about not tolerating things well.  I am 20 months out, and I still have days when things just don't seem to work right.  I am sure some people never have issues.  I had one this weekend with beef.  My hubby took me out for valentines.  I usually always get a filet because they are the most tender.  This one was tough and I got a piece stuck.  My pouch was sensitive for the next 2 days. 

Just take one day at a time, and start fresh each morning.

Pam

Good morning all -

Wish I had some Protein Chai Tea... but apparently Pam E. is drinking my cup of deliciousness.  LOL!  Actually, I had my own mug of it this morning on the drive to work.  Now I'm just finishing up my morning fake latte while I do some meal planning for the day.

QOTD -- I stick right at 60-64oz of water a day.  Doc doesn't want me over that amount because of my low blood pressure.  He's also got me taking in extra sodium... so if I do more than 64oz of water it'll deplete my sodium levels.  The dizzy spells and black outs seem to be getting better and my BP readings are more normal lately, so it must be working.  Go back to doc in a few weeks for a check up.

Randy -- not sure why a bandster would need that much water.  You have a full sized stomach, which is where the majority of water is absorbed, so you could do the 64oz like a normal person.  Bypassed folks don't actually absorb water until it hits the large intestines and even then, the water doesn't have a long tract for absorption, so that is why it's normal for us to need more than the normal amount.   Just curious...

Pam, can you post your 'recipe' for protein Chai tea?  Or send it to me?  If you already posted it, I missed it!  It sounds good and lately I've been BORED with coffeee.  

Hit enter before I said THANKS!!  Tina

It's on my blog.  Be warned, though.... this stuff is addicting and you'll start having fantasies about it.  Add a squirt of RediWhip and a sprinkle of Chai Spice to the top and it feels like you're being naughty.

(And just for reference sake.... anytime I mention a recipe, it's probably on my blog.   And the link to the site is in my siggy.  Sometimes I get lazy and don't link to stuff I mention.)

I think I'll have to try this with my soy powder.  I have some that needs to be used. 

But what if I WANT to drink a naked drink, naked?  LOL!  

Naked?  Go for it.... just be careful not to spill the drink down your front, that could hurt!  LOL

I want the recipe too please!!!!
