Finally able to go back to the gym.... And I was very thirsty while on the elliptical and I didn't want to drink too much water... Anyone have a trick?

No... why do you not want to drink water?

I would think you would need water to rehydrate yourself, especially when exercising, right?

It's not that I don't want to drink water, but I was told by my surgeon to not drink a lot at one time and take small sips.... I really want to drink water while working out.

Just drink in small sips over the period of your exercise. It's only water and it goes through very quickly and easily.

Small sips and a nice Protein shake after workout.

^{First I've heard that one. I would think if you are exercising you are 4 - 6 weeks post surgery and you can drink all the water you want. Interesting, I have no problem drinking lots of water while exercising. Just take it slow, see how it feels, you'll know if it is too much at once.}

I guess nothings wrong with drinking water within your exercise. I mean you will definitely let it out when you sweat. Hope it helps:-)
