4ALongerLife 329 Posted August 17, 2012 My hospital has mugs that they give patients, I asked for extra ones before I left... but you can buy them I think as well at their gift shops. They are 28 oz.s so I do that 4 times a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimmy*custis 276 Posted August 17, 2012 I have the best luck with a large red plasic cups I got at Walmart, the ones in the summer area with the beach towels and such. I seem to drink more when I use those! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shrinkingturtle 21 Posted August 17, 2012 I have a insulated 20 oz. travel cup with a turn close top much like a travel coffee cup. It keeps my drinks really cold much longer than anything else I have tried. I normally get 3 a day in plus my Protein Shakes.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bethL 48 Posted August 17, 2012 I'm so excited that you asked. I'm happy to share my new friend. This is an "Intak" Water bottle here's the link http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Nissan-Intak-Hydration-Bottle/dp/B001EGGQB6. I like it for a few reasons: 1. It's 24 oz 2. It allows you to sip and not suck and get air in your tummy 3. It actually has a counter on the side so that you can track how many bottles you drank in the day 4. It comes in pink :-) I hope this helps anyone who is looking for a bottle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shrinkydinkme 221 Posted August 18, 2012 I have been refilling my 16 oz glass Snapple bottle and really liking it! I can drop in as many ice cubes as I want because of the large opening and I love the feeling of glass. 1 kmwheel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darla5060 68 Posted August 19, 2012 Thanks, everyone! Such great ideas! I'm going to try them all and see which one fits for me. Beth, I checked out your bottle on Amazon (thanks for the link). It looks great! I ordered one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleevealicious 43 Posted August 19, 2012 I have been using a camelback water bottle before and after surgery and I love it! You can really control how much comes out ! 1 Darla5060 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanishingAct 4 Posted August 19, 2012 Thanks I just ordered (two pink) ones lol You'll love these. This is the bottle I use too! They are great for at home and running errands but I love having them at work (hospital). The cap keeps everything clean and free from germs which is much better than sucking on a camelback straw that's been exposed to the environment. Target usually carries them in the sporting goods section for $9.99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bought one of these -- it melted and got misshapen when I left it in the car, and it wasn't even a hot day! Plus it was plastic. No matter how hard I try, I am not motivated to drink Water out of plastic, and I LOVE water... I have been refilling my 16 oz glass Snapple bottle and really liking it! I can drop in as many ice cubes as I want because of the large opening and I love the feeling of glass. Yes! I re-use glass Snapple bottles to make Lipton Cold Brew iced tea. Everything tastes crisper and cleaner out of a glass bottle. I have been using a camelback water bottle before and after surgery and I love it! You can really control how much comes out ! I had trouble with the camelback one because I didn't like having to bite the rubbery mouthpiece -- plus it seemed germy to me. I'm a little weird with germs/bottles. So my recommendation is a glass Takeya bottle. I find that I drink more water because it's crisp and tastes GOOD! And I've tried everything -- those metal bottles, tons of plastic bottles... plus, since I'm weird with germs and stuff, I know I can wash the glass with HOT water and not have to worry about it melting or releasing some kind of chemical... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003DTLNVA/?tag=hyprod-20&hvadid=15469465059&hvpos=1o1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6350148991710026100&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&ref=asc_df_B003DTLNVA The Container Store also carries this one, which is very similar with the protective sleeve around it. http://www.containerstore.com/shop?productId=10029942&N=&Ntt=glass+bottle 1 Darla5060 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NtvTxn 1,262 Posted August 23, 2012 In a Tervis Tumbler, a lot of ice and a straw. I started using a straw at about two weeks, it is the only rule I broke, but I could drink a lot more using a straw!!! Now days, I forego Water except when I'm out....I drink a ton of tea and about four cups of coffee per day. I was scared of dehydration, I watch the color of the water in the toilet.....it's somewhere between light and clear. I'm ok with it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
