brooksbrittanyanne 6 Posted January 7, 2020 I feel like i just cannnot meet my Water goals. Trying to drink that much, even spaced out makes me wanna vomit. Any tips? It’s only been a week since surgery so may w it just gets easier once i get to the next diet stage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted January 7, 2020 are you counting other fluids toward your goal, such as Protein Shakes? I counted all fluids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bastian 458 Posted January 7, 2020 I couldn't reach mine either but I tried and I stayed hydrated even though it was less than recommended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GradyCat 3,695 Posted January 7, 2020 You know your other liquids count as Water too, right? Iced tea, Protein Shakes, coffee - anything liquid counts as your water intake. Mix it up. Have some hot tea. Have some crystal light mixed in your water. I never drank straight plain water, I always used a sugar-free flavored additive. I still do.

brooksbrittanyanne 6 Posted January 7, 2020 Thanks guys! I figured it out. I was counting my shakes, but i wasn’t counting my broths and Soups, once i did things got MUCH closer to the goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aliya78 29 Posted January 10, 2020 I found I had challenges after surgery getting enough liquid. I was able to drink small 1 skim milk chai latte after the first week. I since then have added crystal light drinks to up my liquid intake and this got me through. I could always drink 1 glass of Water relatively easily but would get nauseous after that, but when I added the flavor to the water it became way easier.
