A typical day for me is a couple of cups of coffee first thing in the morning, then bottled water or Tetley breakfast blend with splash of milk throughout the day. The occasional Tetley brand Chai tea is my new favourite treat.
Nutrition appt went well. Down 4lbs from last month. I joined the Y on the way home. I have an appointment with the trainer Monday to learn the machines and set goals. Mostly, I plan to swim and join one of the aquatic exercise classes.

Nearly 100% of my water has tea in it. Black tea of all varieties. oolong, lapsang souchon, blends like English Breakfast, Assam, Darjeeling. You name it, if it's a black tea that doesn't taste like fruit, I drink it.
Also, try these:
That's an assortment of orange, lemon, and lime flavor crystals. I just dump one into my water bottle (tea or no tea). No sugar, no chemicals. Just crystalized orange or lemon or lime.
I drink Bubly and Arrowhead Black Cherry or Lime sparkling water occasionally.
What other liquids are you drinking besides water? Need some zero cal ideas for liquids. I have a major problem with drinking my calories.
I was referred to Dr. O'Conell by my doctor and it is so hard to get in touch with their office I have left voicemails and tried countless of time to call them. I will keep trying I want give up
Hi PrettyVee can you tell me the name of your doctor that done your surgery in Covington and do they accept the medical card.
Does your potassium drink have a nutrition label? Even when we take medicine there can be side effects. In your case, maybe there are a lot of calories or high sugar content in the potassium drink. Calories from liquids can be just as high as calories from solids.
Thanks wombat! I feel like this is going to be a good place for support and advice!
Thanks for the words of encouragement. No weight requirement other than I can't be any heavier on the last 6 month nutritionist appt than I was at the first one. But they do like to see effort towards the goals. My next one is at 9am tomorrow, my 3rd, so it's flying by. I think I'll be down a few from last month.
It's really good you have a support buddy that has already had the surgery in real life and is already doing it. I remember when I was just starting out. I needed the 6 nutrition appointments as well spaced 1 month apart. Seems like a long time but it comes so fast. Not sure if you have a weight requirement or not. My insurance didn't require it, but my WLS program had a policy of if you have a net weight gain one month they put you on notice and if you have it for 2 months they kick you out of the program. When I did everything they told me to do I looked forward to the appointments..it's such a good feeling to get weighed in and being significantly less weight than last months appointment. There was a month or 2 I slacked and i dreaded those appointments.. luckily I made my weight the months I slacked but barely. Anyways good luck with everything look forward to all the exciting times ahead.
