Water question



Recommended Posts

I have never been much of a drinker, not Water, juice, soda, etc. I rarely get thirsty unless a medicine gives me cotton mouth. I've committed to this whole water drinking thing. I've found it easier to consume all my water early in the day (before noon). If not, I will forget that I need it, won't get thirsty and won't get it in.

Now, my question is.... is it more beneficial to spread the water out over the course of the day, or does it not make a difference as long as I get it in? Does my body dehydrate if I don't drink anything from about noon until night? Or does the ton of morning water last all day?

Thanks

I haven't had sodas since January. I got sick for 2 weeks and didn't drink anything but Water, tea, and juice... tried to drink soda again, and I can't do it it's too sweet.

I've been told it's best to drink Water over the day. I cannot stand the taste of plain water. I drink the Metro Mint and Hint Mint flavored water, no sugars, etc. 0 everything. I also drink Fiji water with REAL Lemon juice that I get at the grocery, it lasts quite a while, and makes the water taste great. I've found a lot of different types of okay to drink beverages are too sweet for me now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
