How much Water do you actually get in per day?

How do you get your water? (Tea, Gatorade, popsicles, etc)

Do Gatorade, tea, coffee, Isopure, broth, crystal light drinks count toward my total water intake?

- Can I freeze Protein added to flavored water to make protein heavy popsicles?

Is anyone using Smart Water* brand? It is bottled water with added electrolytes. I am wondering if this is a good option post surgery to ward off dehydration.

I am worried about not being able to get adequate water post op and I am a big water drinker / gulper LOL.

Thanks!!

i have been wanting to ask this, do you really think drinking Water helps you lose weight? I have read it really doesn't matter, is it different for wls? I only question because I'm lucky if I drink 8 oz a day, I drink about 32 oz of tea and coffee (no sugar or cream) with caffeine. I hate sugar free stuff. I really need to try because my weight loss is pretty slow. Does decaf count as a water intake? I used to drink so much water before my surgery, I guess to wash down all the bad food.

Time after time folks here say drink you water... At the least all that caffein is not doing you any good. If you turn that into decaf, you would be just 2 glasses of water from your min water intake. Its a habit you can change. If you keep drinking caf, you need to add an extra glass of water for each caf you drink to make up for the diuretic qualities of the caf.
