Water goal issues

[brooksbrittanyanne 6]

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?

are you counting other fluids toward your goal, such as Protein Shakes? I counted all fluids.

I couldn't reach mine either but I tried and I stayed hydrated even though it was less than recommended.

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.

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.

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.

Just keep at it! I am 4 months out and just recently able to meet my goals regularly.
