I'm only 4 days post band. I have been trying and coming close to getting in my 64 oz of fluid daily, but don't really drink straight water. I drink very diluted juices mostly. Do you think that's ok? I just find plain water so boring!

I think as long as it is very diluted and don't have sugar if that what you need to do to get your fluids than it should be fine.

Have you tried Crystal Light? It might help you to drink more.

Thank you, I'll try that!

BTW, how do I get ticker? One user told me to just click on someone else's and follow the directions, but I wasn't able to get one. It was asking for a pin? I consider myself pretty savvy when it comes to computers but this one has me baffled. hahaha

I would say stay away from juices in general. You are just drinking your calories, no matter how diluted it is and that is never a good way to go. There are a ton of Water flavorings that are sugar free...

For the ticker, go to a www.tickerfactory.com . Choose weight loss then follow the steps. Once you get to the screen which says "Done! Your ticker:" copy the code in the box called bbCode. Then go to your profile, choose update and paste that code into your signature. Hope that helps!

If you like Cran-Grape juice...Ocean Spray makes sugar free "on the go" little packets to mix in water. It is like crystal light. The cran-grape tastes exactly like the juice. They also have White Cran-Peach, Cran-Cherry, Cran-Cherry-Limeade and some other flavors. They are awesome!

Oooo....those sound wonderful! Thank you!

I have tried these things called "miyo" spelling wrong sorry!! They come in a small silver oval bottle at the grocery store or target. You can squirt as much or as little "juice" as you want into your Water bottle to flavor it. They come in ice tea, peach tea and fruit punch. They are all good!!! They are sugar free and no calorie!!!

sugar free popsicles count as Fluid too and are nice on a hot day!!!
