I am a person that is constantly on the dehydrated side. I don't get thirsty easily and I never think to reach and get a glass or drink of Water. I don't hate Water, I just am not a big DRINKER of anything. I have to force myself to drink things and with that in mind I have been overweight about 80 percent of my life.

I do think there is a huge connection, and I need to DRINK water.

@@MIMISAN one of my Water tricks is to aim to get to at least 50% of daily goal in before lunch. Once it becomes a habit, I drink more...kinda like it primes the pump for the day.

Having quality Water is so important.

I was talking with my mom about my grandmother the other day and how hard it was to get her to drink Water. She drank a lot of coffee. If I were my grandmother I wouldn't have drunk much water either. Whenever I visited her I couldn't stand the water. The municipal water tasted awful.

Quality Water is absolutely important. I'm very fortunate that we have a spring water cooler at work. I fill my 22 oz. water bottle first thing at work and often once more in the afternoon. I live in an older home and occasionally the water coming out the tap has looked discolored, particularly after a rain. Maybe old pipes? I just don't trust it and I never liked the taste. I buy spring water to drink at home. Having great-tasting water available makes such a difference. I feel very fortunate that I have these sources as options.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
