Dehydration...not a fan!

Well into week #5 and doing my thing - didn't monitor my fluid intake and WHAMMO! Dehydrated... my fault, totally avoidable, wasting a PTO day at work as a result. I am slamming fluids today and need to formalize a fluid intake plan until it's a habit. No matter how many times they hammer into your head, FLUIDS FLUIDS FLUIDS, I am a man and had to figure it out the hard way, LOL

      I understand that one... I've been so good on my fluid intake, until the last week. I'm really disappointed because it smacks of my old pattern of being good the first month or so on a "diet" then g

      I've managed a 16.9 oz bottle every 90 minutes so far today - will have to take a break soon though because I need to eat some protein. Lesson learned for sure!

      VSGKirk...how are you able to drink a 16.9 oz bottle in 90 minutes? Please share your secret. It takes me almost the entire day to finish a bottle of water.

    I hope they do something for you soon. Getting your liquids in is hard enough! Let alone trying to do it with a stricture...

    The thought of experiencing dehydration again is a good motivator! LOL - I'm trying to re-learn that I must drink out of need' date=' not thirst. So I'm watching the clock today and every 10 minutes or so, I'm taking at least 2oz. I let that go down and 10 minutes later, another swig![/quote']

    VSGKirk,

    Good job, I'm trying to keep up to you today !!
