Water Intake

Haha! I am in the southern hemisphere so it is winter here and very cold!

Ahhhhh I just noticed your location. Send some of that cold here. But only a little - when it gets to 70 we pull our leather jackets out and when it hits 50 the full riding gear comes out - chaps, full face masks, gauntlet gloves lol But it's still better than snow

Maybe I am unique I can chug water' date=' Protein, broth no problem. I can tell if I have taken in enough and have not felt "too full". Wonder if this is just me.... any feed back would be great![/quote']

You're not alone. I keep wondering if something's wrong with me. I was sleeved 6/1 and have no problems drinking my 64oz+ a day. Im real good about sipping and not chugging but a few times I have forgotten and chugged a bit much. Even then I feel a small restriction but it quickly goes away.

In the hospital I was given a bunch of two ounce medicine cups. They had me fill them with liquid and drink one every 15 minutes. I also had a sheet with the time in 15 minute increments on it and each time I drank a medicine cup within a 15 minute period, I marked it on the sheet. It was a great way to keep track and so the nurses could see how much I was drinking At Walmart in the paper goods section, they have these little two ounce cups with lids. They come 50 to a pack. You could get some of those and try to drink one every 15 minutes. Keep a tick mark for each one you drink. It might help the fluids from seaming so overwhelming because those containers are so small and drinking one in a 15 minute period seems easy.

Good luck to you!

Hmm that gives me a good idea. Why not take a Water bottle (I have several that I drink all the time and re-use anyway from the gallon jogs I fill up with good water) and make tick marks on that to make sure you are drinking enough? Hmm where's my black marker? lol
