I just started working on lowering the amount of Water I drink at a time, as I know this will be one of my biggest issues. I am used to drinking 120 ounces or so of water a day and at least 15 to 20 oz at a time. Practicing with 1 oz cups so I can get as much water down as i can. I start my pre-op diet the day after thanksgiving and I know that will be super hard for me so mentally just wrapping my mind around it. I also prepped freezer meals for my family for the next 6 to 7 weeks so I do not really have to look at foods I can not have and will want lol!

I too drink around a gallon of water every single day so I’m stressed about the water intake as well! I’m up about every hour in the night to the bathroom (regardless of Fluid intake) so I plan on preparing my water on the bathroom counter for a sip every time I’m up. Best of luck to you! 2 JustMe4Ever and Zebby67 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
