64 oz of fluid

[fit4life123 108]

It took me nearly all day to get one liter of Fluid down(minus about a 1/4 cup I gave to my dog in the car from class, my mother drives me since I'm still newly sleeved)

I fear becoming dehydrated and was pretty close yesterday getting in about a liter and a half but today my goal was 2 liters!

At about 7pm I started freaking out I wasn't going to make it but I pushed through and can almost guarantee I will make my goal today! So HAPPY!

It's definitely been harder to get in Fluid than I expected!

It surprised me too how difficult it was. Hang in there it does get better. Set a timer if you need to. I switched to straws (against the common advice) after a trip to the ER for dehydration about 2 weeks out - it helped immensely! Good luck! It gets better!

I like the Water bottles with the sport tops... I find it helps if I can just squeeze it in.

I was sleeved on Tuesday and I'm having trouble getting in all the water/fluids as well. I think I'm just afraid to drink too much as once? I decided to have my SIL go to the store for me and get those 5oz cups (Dixie Cups that people use in their bathrooms). If I can have one of those each hour in a 12 hour day (say 7-7) then I should be good. With the Protein shakes and SF drinks I should be good! Hopefully that will help!

I was given a 24oz water bottle in the hospital that has a valve on it so you can't take big gulps. I'm trying to get 3 of those in a day! It's harder than I thought it would be!!! Sip! Sip! Sip!!!

I am almost 6 weeks and I can take only around a litre daily.

It's pretty difficult. I've only been able to drink 64oz daily for the last week or two. Sleeved 12-4-15. I found what has helped is using a big Water bottle, I've for a 32oz nalgene and I try and get one finished by lunch time. Also I add lemon or cucumber to it, or do one cup of peach tea and the rest fill with water. ALSO the biggest help is a timer. I time my Vitamin and food/water, I've literally got 10 alarms and that helps remind me. Dehydration sucks and now that I'm walking more and got more of a schedule down, it helps.
