What's Your Favorite Drinking Receptacle?



Recommended Posts

I'm trying to find new ways to get my Water in...what's your favorite thing to drink from? I've heard the Camelbak water bottles are good - has anyone tried ot, and how do you like it? Any and all ideas would be appreciated! :)

My hospital has mugs that they give patients, I asked for extra ones before I left... but you can buy them I think as well at their gift shops. They are 28 oz.s so I do that 4 times a day.

I have the best luck with a large red plasic cups I got at Walmart, the ones in the summer area with the beach towels and such. I seem to drink more when I use those!

I have a insulated 20 oz. travel cup with a turn close top much like a travel coffee cup. It keeps my drinks really cold much longer than anything else I have tried. I normally get 3 a day in plus my Protein Shakes.< /p>

I'm so excited that you asked. I'm happy to share my new friend. This is an "Intak" Water bottle here's the link http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Nissan-Intak-Hydration-Bottle/dp/B001EGGQB6. I like it for a few reasons:

1. It's 24 oz

2. It allows you to sip and not suck and get air in your tummy

3. It actually has a counter on the side so that you can track how many bottles you drank in the day

4. It comes in pink :-)

I hope this helps anyone who is looking for a bottle!

I have been refilling my 16 oz glass Snapple bottle and really liking it! I can drop in as many ice cubes as I want because of the large opening and I love the feeling of glass.

Thanks, everyone! Such great ideas! I'm going to try them all and see which one fits for me. Beth, I checked out your bottle on Amazon (thanks for the link). It looks great! I ordered one.

I have been using a camelback water bottle before and after surgery and I love it! You can really control how much comes out !

You'll love these. This is the bottle I use too! They are great for at home and running errands but I love having them at work (hospital). The cap keeps everything clean and free from germs which is much better than sucking on a camelback straw that's been exposed to the environment.

Target usually carries them in the sporting goods section for $9.99

Bought one of these -- it melted and got misshapen when I left it in the car, and it wasn't even a hot day! Plus it was plastic. No matter how hard I try, I am not motivated to drink Water out of plastic, and I LOVE water...

I have been refilling my 16 oz glass Snapple bottle and really liking it! I can drop in as many ice cubes as I want because of the large opening and I love the feeling of glass.

Yes! I re-use glass Snapple bottles to make Lipton Cold Brew iced tea. Everything tastes crisper and cleaner out of a glass bottle.

I have been using a camelback water bottle before and after surgery and I love it! You can really control how much comes out !

I had trouble with the camelback one because I didn't like having to bite the rubbery mouthpiece -- plus it seemed germy to me. I'm a little weird with germs/bottles.

So my recommendation is a glass Takeya bottle. I find that I drink more water because it's crisp and tastes GOOD! And I've tried everything -- those metal bottles, tons of plastic bottles... plus, since I'm weird with germs and stuff, I know I can wash the glass with HOT water and not have to worry about it melting or releasing some kind of chemical...

The Container Store also carries this one, which is very similar with the protective sleeve around it.

In a Tervis Tumbler, a lot of ice and a straw. I started using a straw at about two weeks, it is the only rule I broke, but I could drink a lot more using a straw!!! Now days, I forego Water except when I'm out....I drink a ton of tea and about four cups of coffee per day. I was scared of dehydration, I watch the color of the water in the toilet.....it's somewhere between light and clear. I'm ok with it!

Can't live without my Tervis Tumbler! It keeps my drinks cold for a long time, doesn't have that plastic taste or feel and has a great top that I use when I take it in the car with me. I'm never without it.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
