Sunny702 2 Posted August 31, 2011 Okay I'm getting the theme Water Water and more water. I'd like to know what you all are drinking your water out of?? Did you go out and buy a certain size reusable water botter? If so what brand ... from where? I want to have something that is XYZ oz so I know ... okay I have to drink 3 of these a day. That way is MUCH easier for me... I drink water now but by the end of the day I usually have no clue how many liquids I've had. Gotta get better at this counting everything routine.

thinoneday 445 Posted August 31, 2011 You know EVERYONE says don't use a straw, but my doctor and I had agreed that if I can drink better from a straw and get the fluids down, then do so. . .and that is what i have done this past 2 years without any complications. . . i DONT used "special" knives, forks, spoons, plates, cups, that is a waste, just a straw. . i adjust to what i like without the extra expense. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kellyw74 258 Posted August 31, 2011 I have been drinking with a straw since week 4, not a big deal!! I have one of those BIG hard, plastic starbucks cups with a lid and straw. I keep er' filled with ice, Water and Mio!! Hope this helps! Kelly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxbins 625 Posted August 31, 2011 I just drink out of a 16 oz glass at home, and put a tick mark in my food journal when I fill it up. In the car, I use bottled Water and just record however many oz. it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MeMeMEEE 206 Posted August 31, 2011 Mostly I do bottled Water (even filtering our tap water doesn't make it good). Sometimes I will use a 16 oz or 20 oz Tervis Tumbler if it is other than water, I love the lids and they are great to keep things cold/hot. Lifetime guarantee too!

Texasmom65 23 Posted August 31, 2011 Oh I love the Tervis tumblers...I have tons of them. That is what i use every day. It keeps my water/ice cold and no sweating glass all over my desk. I also use the lids with a straw in the car. You can get 16 oz or a 24 oz at Bed Bath and Beyond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meggspeggs 0 Posted August 31, 2011 I'm using the Water jug from the hospital. It is nicely marked and has a straw or a flap that opens for sipping. Its working great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kami 9 Posted August 31, 2011 I use Rubbermaid bottles. You can get them in the grocery store by where the plastic containers are. Pre-op I drank out of 32 oz bottles, now I"m using the 20 oz and drink 3-4/day. I freeze them about 1/3 full of Water, so when I fill it with Water the next day the ice lasts a good while and keeps it cold. I actually have three in front of me right now - one with water, one with crystal light, and one with Isopure. They are dishwasher safe too. I crochet little coozies for them so they won't sweat on my desk here's a couple that I've made: 1 Shoppingbeemom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phillygirl 1 Posted September 1, 2011 I use a starbucks big plastic cup with a straw. I can get the Water down better with a straw for some reason, lots of ice too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunny702 2 Posted September 1, 2011 Kami ... very cute!!! My grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was younger but I couldn't begin to do it now. :-( The snuggies would serve a double purpise for me because it helps for me NOT see how much Water I have to go. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cam 15 Posted September 2, 2011 I go by Sonic and get a 32 oz unsweet tea with XX ice and sip on it all day, then stop on the way home and get it refilled with ice and Water with a slice of lemon and lime, and sip on that the rest of the day. I don't finish either all the way, but oh well, close enough. Oh, and when I swallow air.........I burp. Problem solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnneG 7 Posted September 2, 2011 Oh Kami, those are so cute. You should sell them :-) I know KAMI- I have 4 of those rubber maid ones- I'd love to buy one of the covers you've made- nothing worse that a sweaty Water bottle- I"m always wrapping paper towels around mine and fastening a rubber band around it. haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
