I want a ticker too
LOL Suzanne
I really do feel good. I'm a tad bit sore and my hand hurts where they had to put that IV at.. no one can stick me in my arm and stuff so in the hand it goes.. and it's sore as heck, but other than that I'm doing well. So far down 12 pounds.. I said I wasn't weighing again until my full 1st week. But every now and again I want some baked fish or chicken or boiled fish and chicken. I was a REAL BIG MEAT EATER... but overall doing well... Taking my vitamins, pills, and getting in that protein..Now water that's a different story. So today it's all abou****er and me trying to get in at least 64 ounces.
I don't know how you ladies/gentlemen do the water. Even if it is in Crystal Light.. But I'm trying and I give myself a big fat C for trying
LOL

Hi Taryn,
Glad to hear that you're feeling good! My Dr. said i get to count any liquids I drink as my "water". So, any protein drinks should be counted into your 64 ounces too. Do you get to do that, or are you only counting water/Crystal Light type stuff? Just curious...I have heard it's difficult to get it all in, and want to get an idea of what it's really like. How much do you get in a day?
I was told some days you make it and some days you don't. All you can do is try your best and move on. Each day you get to start again! :) Good luck!
Hi Deb
I don't remeber Dr.Harris saying that.(anything you take in goes along with your water count).. But then again I can't remember half the stuff he said when he came in later that day after surgery... I'm not sure.. But I'm def. not getting enough in. I may do around 30 ounces a day.. and that's INCLUDING crystal light... I just drink 2 protein shakes a day.. I'm good on my protein LOL.. but today its all abou****er and crystal light for me.. I'm pretty sure that once I do get in tha****er that I will feel full and better...
Blessings
All Dr's are different. But either way, you definitely don't want to get dehydrated! I'm going to buy an inexpensive watch timer that will beep every 15 minutes to remind me to drin****il it becomes a new habit. Good luck on your water/crystal light mission...I'm sure today will be a better day! You can do it!
