I have a hard time with the Water. Usually get in 6 cups and not more which is particularly low (bad) on the days I go spinning. Every day I wake up and tell myself that this is the day that I am going to get all the liquid in but I never quite make it.

Now this is pre-band.... I drink 3-5 litres of Water a day. Post band it is gonna kill me not to drink that much. It is such a habit to refill my water bottle 3-5 times a day.

But I am sure I will get used to it.

I keep a 20-oz bottle on my desk that I fill from the office Water cooler and drain 3 times during the work day. I also drink an 8 oz glass when I wake up (AFTER I weigh myself) and I drink a glass an hour or so before bedtime.

I now hate artificial sweentener. I used to be a diet soda JUNKIE. When I gave them up, I gave up the sweeteners, too. They just all taste so fake and sweeeeet. Sometimes, I put a few ounces of skim milk in a glass and fill it up the rest of the way with Water to flavor the water a little bit. Sometimes I add a little OJ with the milk and water and it reminds me of the orange juilius we used to drink as a kid. I also like iced tea with no sweetener.

If I don't drink enough water, I retain water, and I wake up with headaches and cotton mouth. Water is my new best friend.

LOL I have 4 16oz Water bottles at my desk at work. I try to drink all 4 during work. I try to drink one before leaving work and one at bed time.

I retain water really bad too. So the more I can get in the better my legs feel.

About a year ago I was diagnosed as being dehydrated. It is NOT a nice feeling. water is really hard for me to get the right quantities.

I drink at least a gallon of Water a day sometimes more. That and tea or milk are the only things I do drink.

I have learned to love drinking Water. I drink anywhere from 3 to 4 16oz bottles a day.

Since I had the surgery I no longer enjoy soda, it has to many bubbles and I don't enjoy it. I have probably had about 5 beers only on special occassions, they too fill me up (but I still enjoy the taste).

Water has become my new best friend, I enjoy it plain. At first I put in crystal light mixes but that became a hassle in a hurry.

Once you get used to just plain water, it's OK.

Water is my new best friend too. I've always heard that the more you drink the more you will lose.

I saw a chart somewhere that told me I should be drinking (for my weight) 124 oz. a day. So I shoot for 2 16.9 oz. bottles in the morning on the way to work. If I go out to lunch (getting in the car to drive), I take 2 more bottles in the car with me to finish before I come back to work (try to drink MOST of them before eating). Then I drink 2 more on the way home. Then I TRY to drink one more in the evening before I go to bed.

On the weekends, it's harder to get as much Water in as I'm running around and not sitting at a desk.

The only thing I ever drink is Water. I drink 64 oz or more per day. It takes me 24 oz just to take my pills. I always warm my water up in the microwave now. Waitresses always give me a funny look when I ask for water with no ice. One time I asked them to bring me hot water like for tea, and I poured it into my glass of cold water. They looked at me like I was crazy.

The hardest thing for me is not drinking when eatting out.

And when I am home I know I dont drink enough Water.

I honestly get very thirsty. I sip Water all the time. I can't gulp a bunch down like I used to. It makes me burp. I drink some and then wait to burp.

But that is like MASSIVE amounts of Water. We need to be drinking at a minimum of 64oz of Water a day to keep our body working properly. Then if you drink a caffinated beverage say 8 oz you need to drink 16oz of water to counter act the caffeene.

I was diagnosed as being dehydrated about a year ago. So trust me DRINK YOUR WATER.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
