Eat or drink

Everywhere my purse goes, also a bottle of water.  You just have to be mindful and sip.  Best wishes to you.

What has helped me is starting the day with water.  I think as a newbie I was obsessed with protein and neglected fluids.  Now, I don't eat until I'm hungry and drink water until then.  Some days I may not eat anything till about 1:00




I have phases  where I have trouble with pure water, so I'll do crystal lite, but I find it really strong so I add extra water, then for every bottle of that, I make myself drink two of pure water.  I also do a lot of ginger and pepermint tea, especially when my pouch is feeling tender and strange.  

I was having the hardest time with this too.   My surgeons orders are nothing to drink 30minutes before you eat or an hour after.  What I do is drink a cup in the morning while I am getting dressed.  Drink 10oz in a protein shake while driving to work.  Then I have a 4c water bottle at work and I drink that all day.  Then when I get home I drink another water bottle(2 cups).  I do this everyday in addtion to popsicles that I eat.  Also when I get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, I drink some more. I keep a water bottle in my bed.

Some days I don't get in my food but I always try to get in 8c of water.
