You need a minimum if three cups but should shoot for 64 oz (8 cups). I'm in TX too. W the heat you have to really stay hydrated.

64 oz is the minimum, the bare minimum!! Can you do more? Drinking Water not only helps with basic hydration needs, but also flushes toxins from your system and boosts your metabolism for better weight loss, try getting between 90-120 oz a day, especially since you are in Texas where it is so hot. You might also consider keeping your electrolytes up with low calorie Gatorade , coconut water or other fitness drinks. Water, it is sooooo important all!! :)

I've never been one to measure or be concerned w/ what I should be drinking or consuming.I just know the approximate of what I should be getting in & I listen to my body. However after realizing i might b dehydrated i thought i might ask:-) My stats r as follows: sleeved 9.20.12. I'm down 90 lbs so I'm now 158lbs w/ only 28lbs until my personal goal.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
