Question about getting in your fluids.

[Tesla1979 12]

I work in the medical field & unable to have my Water sitting next to me to be sipping on all day per medical governing rules. Has anyone else come across similar situations at work? Just wondering how you get the fluids in without constantly sipping all day. Any info is greatly appreciated.

I have to sip all day, otherwise I feel dehydrated. There's an awful lot of Water to get in if you can't. And you've also got the problem not eating and drinking at the same time which will be difficult if you have short breaks at work. Is there somewhere you can leave a drink bottle and try to get back to it fairly frequently?

We have a drink station @6feet away. I told my boss that normally that wouldn't be a problem but for me to get all the Water in I usually have to take a sip at least every minute or 2. I'm an MRI tech & have to sit & stare a screen, set the next sequences up, monitor the pt, ect. And getting up to walk 6 feet every 2 minutes is almost impossible to do while doing my job. Just trying to get done ideas from others who may also have jobs that aren't accommodating to the new post surgery lifestyle.

Sure makes it tricky

Would they let you get a hiking hydration pack and hide it under your clothes somehow, only problem is you'd have to sip from the straw. Just an idea.

I am currently off work trying to adjust to my new food plan but I have the same problem, work in health care, they just did a big crack down and we cannot have even Water with us. This means every hour I am going to dash across the hall to the lounge and drink a couple of ounces.

I think as time passes we will be able to drink more at one time. of course we also have 2 breaks plus

lunch.< /p>

At my job I can have a letter in my file from the doctor stating that I need to have a water bottle at all times. Check with your HR manager.
