Okay I'm getting the theme Water water and more water. I'd like to know what you all are drinking your water out of?? Did you go out and buy a certain size reusable water botter? If so what brand ... from where?

I want to have something that is XYZ oz so I know ... okay I have to drink 3 of these a day. That way is MUCH easier for me... I drink water now but by the end of the day I usually have no clue how many liquids I've had.

Gotta get better at this counting everything routine.

You know EVERYONE says don't use a straw, but my doctor and I had agreed that if I can drink better from a straw and get the fluids down, then do so. . .and that is what i have done this past 2 years without any complications. . . i DONT used "special" knives, forks, spoons, plates, cups, that is a waste, just a straw. . i adjust to what i like without the extra expense. Good luck!

I have been drinking with a straw since week 4, not a big deal!!

I have one of those BIG hard, plastic starbucks cups with a lid and straw. I keep er' filled with ice, Water and Mio!!

Hope this helps!

I just drink out of a 16 oz glass at home, and put a tick mark in my food journal when I fill it up. In the car, I use bottled water and just record however many oz. it is.

Mostly I do bottled water (even filtering our tap water doesn't make it good). Sometimes I will use a 16 oz or 20 oz Tervis Tumbler if it is other than water, I love the lids and they are great to keep things cold/hot. Lifetime guarantee too!

Oh I love the Tervis tumblers...I have tons of them. That is what i use every day. It keeps my water/ice cold and no sweating glass all over my desk. I also use the lids with a straw in the car. You can get 16 oz or a 24 oz at Bed Bath and Beyond.

I'm using the water jug from the hospital. It is nicely marked and has a straw or a flap that opens for sipping. Its working great.

I use Rubbermaid bottles. You can get them in the grocery store by where the plastic containers are. Pre-op I drank out of 32 oz bottles, now I"m using the 20 oz and drink 3-4/day. I freeze them about 1/3 full of Water, so when I fill it with water the next day the ice lasts a good while and keeps it cold. I actually have three in front of me right now - one with water, one with crystal light, and one with Isopure. They are dishwasher safe too.

I crochet little coozies for them so they won't sweat on my desk

here's a couple that I've made:

oops, double post and couldn't figure out how to delete.

those are CUTE>>

I use a starbucks big plastic cup with a straw. I can get the water down better with a straw for some reason, lots of ice too.

Kami ... very cute!!! My grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was younger but I couldn't begin to do it now. :-( The snuggies would serve a double purpise for me because it helps for me NOT see how much water I have to go. :-)

I go by Sonic and get a 32 oz unsweet tea with XX ice and sip on it all day, then stop on the way home and get it refilled with ice and water with a slice of lemon and lime, and sip on that the rest of the day. I don't finish either all the way, but oh well, close enough. Oh, and when I swallow air.........I burp. Problem solved.

Oh Kami, those are so cute. You should sell them :-)

I know KAMI- I have 4 of those rubber maid ones- I'd love to buy one of the covers you've made- nothing worse that a sweaty Water bottle- I"m always wrapping paper towels around mine

and fastening a rubber band around it. haha

Kami, I love those cozzies.
