Dehydration/hydration

How is everyone staying hydrated? I'm not doing such a great job at it...

I would love to see what people are doing for this. I am 3 weeks out and my urine has been yellow ever since. I try but it's hard.

[Kellyk2511 282]

This is something I struggle with daily. I'm supposed to get in 64oz a day and I usually get 2 or 3 bottles in.

Omg i thought i was the only one. I am 2 1/2 weeks out and struggling with the intake of my fluids.

I just got off the phone with my nurse. I am indeed dehydrated. 12 days out. She suggested ice chips and sugar free pop cycles. I have periods when I don't want anything. But I am light headed and weak. Seeing doctor in the a.m. I just had a pop cycle and some smart Water.< /p>

I'm 18 days out today and just now starting to get the hang of it. I can now drink quite a bit in an hour. Before it was impossible...so just suck popcicles and ice chips and wait until it gets better.

I've eaten 6 sugar free pops in a day before. I finally started making my own out of my crystal light stuff cuz the pops were freaking me out. Too much dye. Too much sweetener.

I usually get my 64 oz in with no problem a day. I'm post 28 days and I've noticed the more and more I drink Water the easier it is to get it down. I went from sipping to now being able to take one normal drink.

Aw soon as I wake up I warm up Water and add a lemon crystal lite to it... Warm/hot water is easier to get down faster.

Then I take a water bottle on my 1 hour walk and I make sure the bottles drunk before I make it back home.

If I watch a movie... I drink a bottle...

I drink another bottle warmed up before bed too.

Really you only need to drink 4 of the 16.9 oz bottles a day. If you add water to your shakes...

You can even try freezing some crystal lite water and then throwing it in a blender... That's easy to get down fast too.

Trader joes has a already made drink called pure Protein that has 35 grams of protein and is only 170 calories. Maybe try this shake. Since its sold in individual cans you can always just purchase one to sample and see if you like the taste.
