Drinking Water And Staying Hydrated

[southerngirl 51]

I too have had problems with getting in enough fluids. Now I have developed a kidney stone for the first time in my life from being dehydrated!!

Live in Sacramento-weather also very hot. I, too, struggle with my fluids. It takes all day to drink my 20oz Diet Snapple. I used to down a large Pepsi in about 10 minutes. Always been a guzzler. Doc said just always have fluids on you at all times which I do and I sip constantly. When I do gulp I feel like I'm going to vomit so I have to remind myself to slow down. I'm one month today and this has been the hardest part...the fluids!

I struggled with this also. I now mix some low calorie Gatorade with Water and am able to get a lot of fluids in that way. I was really struggling with plain Water bc it would not feel good in my stomach. So I had bought a Gatorade at the store and wow' date=' within a half hour I had rank the whole bottle. It felt good and now I don't have any troubles with getting my Fluid in on a daily basis. [/quote']

I am going to try Gatorade. Thank you

Gatorade is great in moderation. But watch out for all the sugar. G2 is better but still not great, but it's certainly better than being dehydrated.

I know it's alot more expensive but smart Water is really great! It has electrolytes like gatorade but none of the other stuff... Just another idea for you fellas working outside.

I have been trying everything lol It's getting better. I am able to drink more now. I was really worried.

My problem is I forget to drink. Before surgery, I would guzzle all day long. I love water! Thank God that I sill love it after surgery. So, since I forget to drink, I downloaded an interval timer and set it to beep every 5 minutes. I did this at work on Thursday and got in my Water. After the first bottle (34 oz) I set the timer for every 15 minutes. I forgot to use it since Thursday though. It does work great at reminding you to sip.
