Topic: RE: Counting water
Hi.  I didn't know the answer to that either so I've been reading the info for Stage 3 diet and in that section on page 11 (the one with the pictures of the vitamins) in the Important Reminders section it says "Remember flavored water, geletin, ice pops, and broth all count towards your fluid goal."  I'm glad you asked that question because I learned something too.

Thanks so much Angie, Kimberleyann, Kitty, and nannydeb. I think I will start my 3 week liquid diet a week from tomorrow on April 21st. That should take me to the middle of May, plenty of time before I go down to Halifax.

LOl think I will have to set my watch to sound an alarm every hour to remind me to get down what i need. lol It's going to be a test for me to cook for my son during this...or he may just have a trial run of his own of cooking for himeself for three weeks LMFAO

Funny how someone said to me I will have to have my favorite meal in before...I kinda looked at them in a huh? LOL i have been on 1200 for a while that I really don't crave or long for anything of the like...n feel quite satified with what i am eating.

Topic: Counting water

We are told we are to have at the least 8 cups (64oz) of water a day.

In looking over the liquid diets samples for stage 3, I see tha perhaps they include some things for water intake besides just plain water....meaning protein shakes, milk, soup, jello, coffee etc.. is this so or am i not understanding it.

Yay! That is great news.  You've already come so far that you can handle the rest, no problem.  Keep a close watch on your sugars and you'll be fine.  You said it yourself, that you've done it so far, keep going.  See you Sunday!

I cant stand soup anymore cause of the liquid diet.lol But thats just me. I found the 1200 cal diet to be easier although with buying boost etc it can get expensive. But i did manage to lose 24lbs in two months following those diets.

Congrats and i wish you the best of luck!

what do you wanna be when you grow up little girl? i wanna be a loser and sit on the bench sir! (45 lbs lost pre op) 300lbs starting weight, currently 141lbs! Lowest has been 135lbs and hoping to get back to that.

That's SUPER news!!!  You won't have any problems with the liquid diet - I mean, it's no fun, but look at all you've done so far & it's obvious that your determined!!  :)  Don't worry about having a touch of cold feet - I think we all had that - it's a huge decision so it's to be expected, but this is all so very worth the time & trouble!  Congrats!!!

Thanks so much Coreen. Doing everything  as I should, it seems to be coming together... i cant believe  i am walking 2 miles now in one half hour that i could barely walk little stretches in the hopsital without gasping 19 months ago.....it feels good when everything finally clicks in and works.
