cassandramarie93 199 Posted January 3, 2017 I purchased a 64 oz Water bottle from Amazon for like 20$ I always keep a glass nearby and can make it through in 30 minutes to an hour. I'm not saying I always make it through the entire 64 oz a day but having a full glass near by definitely makes me more prone to drinking it. I also really like the ice tea crystal light!

Middus 491 Posted January 3, 2017 Depending on the day. Sometimes I can finish 33oz in less than 1hr. Some other days 20 feels like too much work over 3 hrs Sent from my SM-N900P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimiof3 33 Posted January 3, 2017 I don't usually it the required amount in but found drinking Protein Water was killing two birds with one stone...I also got an infused water bottle from my hospital and I like putting lemons or some type of fruit in it to give the water some flavor... 1 duchess abeni reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted January 4, 2017 I haven't been able to meet my goal on hydration @@becky ulibarri i can totalllllly relate 6 weeks PO i was having a lot of trouble trouble my 64 oz water/liquids i couldn't drink that much i ended about going to the hospital re- hydration by IV it was a bummer i'll never forget the date Valentines' Day!!! DH brought flowers to the hospital!! ahhhhh, he is so smart after all, he married me 25 years ago many (not WE) @ LipstickLady drink liquids at room temperature that's what i still do crystal lite is also a winner find that 64 or 32 oz Water bottle - it did help in my case still does i see the glass half full, rather than half empty!! i am 5+ years PO and i still use the bottle good luck bud kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted January 4, 2017 gotta learn to do what I need to @@becky ulibarri Deal With It!! "it ain't easy......it ain't easy...........don't let the............... (name that tune)!! i've always considered Water situations are the hardest not drinking while you eat not drinking after you eat for 30-45 minutes (per NUT) drinking 64+ oz a day all of the above are imperative !! listen to others (especially me LOL) People are smart, and helpful here you can bring a horse to water but you can't make him drink!!! you'll be successful sooner than later good luck newbie kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
