Water Breakthrough
On the goal of trying to get my 64 ounces of water in a day and mostly failing, I finally tried something else that worked beautifully! I bought some of that Diet Cranberry Drink that has 5 calories a cup. I don't like fake things, and usually stay away from them. But I filled up my pint mason jar with ice and then poured the fake cranberry drink in, then add water when it gets low. I am easily getting in five of these! More than the minimum! Yay!
Try fruit infused water - I use strawberies....I use 1 cup of berries for 32 oz of water- 3 times...then I eat the berries with my yogurt or add to my shake.
Also love an orange infused water.

I've been using Trimino protein water and Crystal lite (store brand) peach tea. I keep a 64 Oz container of peach tea by my side all day.
The Trimino adds 7 gm protein per 16 Oz Extra bonus of protein with fluids I need anyway

Isn't it amazing how something that tasted great before surgery you can't stand after surgery? I was drinking the vanilla premier protein shakes before, absolutely cannot tolerate themm now. And water! I have to choke it down. Going to look for the Trimino that Pat suggests... Could use the extra protein.
I had some Trader Joe turkey chili the other day that was great. But when I had it yesterday I almost could not fini**** and now even the smell is making me sick. Things change on a dime!
