Fruits?

Yes, there on there but it's real vague, it says soft canned or fresh pureed fruits! I'm not gonna puree them though except with my teeth! I'm bad i know! DAWN

Dawn, How about blending banana and strawberries with the protein shake kind of like a Smoothie????? I love nectarines, oj and banana blended with ice it is soooo delicious!!!!

That sounds good I'll try one for breakfast in the mornin! DAWN

I eat fresh fruits, not canned fruits, but I guess you could eat the canned ones if you buy the ones that are Lite in their on natural juices. I have eaten peaches (I ate the peel on the peaches, didn't bother me., watermelon, grapes (don't eat the skin), kiwi, oranges (but spit out the stringy part), apples (did not eat the peel). You will know what parts of the fruit that you just can't seem to chew up, that is the part you don't swallow. I have joint aches now more than muscle cramps, it is mainly my hips. I think I am low in some kind of nutrient, but just don't know what I need to take. It could also be dehydration, I have the darndest time trying to get in those fluids. Best of Luck! Rhonda

Rhonda... Do I need to come down there and make you drink?? Huh? Dont let me find out you are dehydrated. Its miserable and they will put your butt in the hospital with a fluid IV and you WILL GAIN WEIGHT! Drink Drink Drink.. Isnt that what you told me??? Are you getting in lots of protein? You could be losing muscle mass if you arent. That could hurt.

Rhonda, go to one of those 7/11 stores and buy the mega insulated mugs, which keep ice and drink cold for hours, they are made by thermos, you can have it on your desk and will have something to drink all day which is cold. It seems like iced stuff goes down easier for me, and in HK which is warmer, you have to drink constantly! Also, you don't have to go to the trouble of filling it up constantly and usually you can get a free refill at the store, I have seen some people get just ice (for free) then just pour what they can drink in the mug......Then it can go with you in the car and everywhere without a spill! I am going to buy several this time when I come home! Cheryl

Girl, you better be drinkin more I'm gonna tell your Dr! I don't think mine is from dehydration i drink all day and night! My mouth stays so dry. I even wanted a diet coke today, but i didn't have any, i'm not that crazy! Maybe in a few more weeks I'll get one! DAWN

That was the biggest thing I missed was my diet cokes. I think I went through withdrawal LOL. That six months I had to do without was tough. I drink one a day now though. I try to chase it with water. I am as bad as Rhonda about my drinking. Someone just needs to give us both a swift kick in the tail. Oh I was going to tell you they make the canned fruits sweetened with Splenda now. The peaches are good. I found mine at Walmart. Melissa

I buy those already for the girls, and they are good, i just prefer fresh. I don't know how ya'll can stand to not be drinkin all the time! I just about die waitting before meals and 30 after to drink. I sometimes don't have my meals because i don't want to quit drinkin. No, FLAMES PLEASE people i know i dont need to be skippin meals, I'll be better tomorrow.

Girl, someone needs to kick you and me in the butt. I don't drink enough either and suffer leg cramps. Poor John has to rub my legs every night. I have been drinking more lately but still not enough I guess. My doctor says that it is because it is hotter and I exercise so much that I just require more than usual and need to drink drink drink if I am going to workout like I do. I thought, gee, I have a hard enough time drinking what I do now. And now he expects me to add to it. Lordy. I was not a big drinker before surgery either. I just never get thirsty. I am trying though. Melissa
