What are you drinking your water out of???



Recommended Posts

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 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:

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.

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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
