I bought these bottles at Costo and they each hold 24 ounces. Since I splurged and got Sparkeletts Water delivery, I figured I better buy something to drink that water with. It has also cut down on the amount of bottled water I was buying. At the end of the day, when I have finished my 3 bottles I know I have met my water intake goal. Doesn't mean I won't drink more water though but at least I will do my minimum intake. I carry them in my little ice chest so I can drink throughout the day since I'm a home health speech therapist and I work out of my car. So far I have finished 2 bottles so that means I only need to drink one more. Yay!!

I am a cup and water bottle addict, it is ridiculous! I too have the big bottled Water, on the cooler (hot and cold water dispenser) I love it. I have found I drink way more water than I ever did before. I bought my 13 yo son the Mio flavorings of his choice (figured it was better then the sugar filled kool aid and sodas. We go thru around 10 gallons a week between the 3 of us, I definitely drink the most. I think I take in around 80-90oz a day (I am pre op FYI) Here are my two favorite cups right now.... I need to wean myself off straws :(

No need to wean off straws. People drink more when they drink with a straw.

I am post op and prefer to drink from a straw

I drink with a straw sometimes. At one month post op my nutritionist encouraged a straw, so I wouldn't smell the Protein Drink.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
