Decide About Drinking

Drinking is a personal choice, If you choose to drink remember alcohol contains 7 calories a gram. One mixed drink could cost you 400 calories. If you are going to have a drink be sure to plan for it, incorporate it into your food plan.

For myself after having WLS I usually avoid Alcohol or have it on rare occasion maybe once every 3-4 months. If I do drink I tend to be a cheap drunk, maybe just one or two, hit hits hard and fast LOL

I know of some people that have turned their food addiction to alcohol addiction after surgery, a very good friend of mine is trying to deal with this issue right now. I also know others that have a glass of wine or two every night. It’s a very individual choice.

Bob

You are right 64 is bare minimum for most but I believe for us its 80 to 90 ++.
You were not wrong you just had to add to it so give yourself credit for drinking 64 thats a start and we all have to start somewhere and the important thing is recognizing. You or your better half realized you needed to bump it up and you are and you came to tell the group that an thats good

So here is to our increase of fluid intake

Yep and Bev if it wasn't for OH and our groups and forums, I would easily falll off track and I am sure there are others out there that are the same way. And thanx for the tip the other day on the water, Bev I hate water, I know thats crazy, but, it's not that I hate it I just don't drink a lot like I should. The other day you said just put a taste of crystal lite only to flavor, well what I did was put a taste with each bottle I had well I ended up drinking more than I had in a while, so you see that was an easy solution that I gabbed just by reading our discussions.

Topic: RE: How is Everybody Doing

Live chat sounds like a good idea. I am on Eastern Standard Time.
Melva I agree . we certainly could be a little more talkative on this forum. I am greatful that the few of us that are here are pretty consistent considering we have only been up and running here for about 3 weeks.

And of course every group has their lurkers and hopefully one day they will be an active part of the conversations as well.
Even if everyone everyday just posts what day they are working on and if its going well or not would me a good beginning.
I think alot of times we just don't know what to say and if we do say something how people will take it. I personally would like to believe that this is a safe place to talk about anything that pertains to our weight loss.

We are here for one another

Topic: I was wrong about fluid intake requirements

I know I could have added my response to the discussion from a couple days ago. But it is important enought to mention again.

I spoke to my wife last night. She really remembers what the docs have told me to do more than I do. Our bodies usually use (or lose depending on your terminology) 64 oz of fluids per day. In order to simply break even, we need to take in 64 oz. It's used to hyrdrate us and to flush fluids in our systems. My wife pointed out that I usually drink closer to 90 fluid oz in any given 24 hr period but that I'm just not aware of it because of my irregular sleep patterns.

So, sometimes I'm right but this time--my previous post on fluids-- I was wrong. Bob

Topic: How is Everybody Doing

Good Morning Fellow BDS folks. Just checking in to see how we are all doing . Let me encourage us all, to check in frequently give your input ask questions or just read and learn. I know for me BDS is a little different from what I am used to doing but it is also the same . The same meaning one common goal, staying or getting healthy and losing weight.

I was just thinking of ways we can encourage and help each other more. I know I like to talk and write a lot but this is all of our group and we all should or could be writing something daily, we help each other so much with just our words. We have so much experience within our group just think we have the power to do whatever it is we want to do and be happy about it.

Let me throw this out as a group question, with all the tools we have here on OH, we could even jump in on the chat line once a week and talk basically to each other in real time, what do you think about that?

Let us know what you think and please what can we do to help each other

Melva--2010 will not leave without my goal being fully met !!!!!!!!!!

Topic: RE: I need help to me stay compliant & accountable

April, I agree that I really benefited from day 25-26 as well, I too moved on when it was weigh in day in the book because my weigh in day is on Fridays.

When eating out grill chicken or fish is always a great choice. I love Cracker Barrel too, we don’t have any here but when we go to Watertown that is where my hubby likes to eat.

Most places we go to eat ,do not have very healthy kids meals Pizza, hamburgers, pasta ect.

Thanks guys, for the words of wisdom regarding the cookie. When I looked at my food plan and the calories I took in today that cookie had more calories than other item that I ate.
