Liquids, Snow Cones and beverage advice

[Guest guest]

Dear Extended Family,

I remember a thread a long time ago when some of you were mentioning

Snow Cone Machines, or ice shavers, whatever. I believe this was in

response to getting more liquids into yourselves.

Well I am having a heck of a time getting liquids in me. Can you tell

me about these machines and what you added to it and how it worked

for you please? So far the only beverage I have been successful with

is Green Tea. Cold, fruity, or plain water are not being tolerated

well either stomach or mouth wise!

Thanks everyone for your advice!

Hugs,

Theresa

Sheryl,

has been serving me Lactaid milk...tastes a bit weird, but

then, everything does to me now. So I try to drink that in my Cream

of Wheat and smashed taters and a little in a glass. thanks. Maybe I

should just drink a glass of milk and have some pills like dairy ease

with it?

Does anyone have feedback on the pills? And is it better to have 2%

milk, which I prefer, or whole milk?

Thanks again,

Theresa

Theresa,

I was having problems getting liquids in the first weeks home. We went to

our local BP (gas station and food mart) and bought their ice chips in the

biggest size cup they had... cost 5 cents. ANd I chewed on them. They were

small and easy to chew and melt and swallow. Not like some of the big things

out there in restaurants. I went through a couple large cups of these a day.

Some of the cashiers even stopped charging me cause we came in so often to

get them. My DH was so great about getting them for me anytime I wanted

them. I still get them sometimes because I still have problems with plain

water.

Thanks Sheri for the info.

YOu know how every now and then a angel falls into your life. Well a

lady in this group, who I think might kill me if I gave out her name,

contacted me privately. She has shared her history with me, as well

as her fantastic weight loss, and said she has an ice machine that

she would like to send to me. I swear, I spent most of this early

morning crying over the generosity of a faceless stranger. Throughout

the course of the day, we have exchanged histories and backgrounds

and I feel I have found a long lost sister!

She just wanted to pass on some of the good karma and help that

others had passed on to her. I hope I can do that for others down the

road. Its amazing how senseless acts of kindness just tend to blossom

and grow! So, for my special angel and newest and dearest sister,

you are truly an angel and I thank you sincerely!

Huge hugs,

Theresa
