I miss guzzling water

I am in AZ and it has been almost 100 for three days straight. I feel soooo thirsty for large amounts of cold water. I feel like I am struggling and not getting enough water. We are looking at a 120 degree summer starting soon. Not sure how I am going to stay hydrated on just this small amount of water every day. Anyone else worry about this?

  • I did at first but not now. Mine was April 1st. I'm now having no problems getting fluids in and I can drink regularly and I prefer it ice cold. So. It took me a few weeks. I can't guzzle...but I can

    I totally understand. I always just want to chug it down. But when I find myself thirsty I just eat Popsicles and suck on ice.

I use to guzzle diet pepsi before surgery, I drank like 6-7 diet pepsi's a day. After surgery it was a BIG change for me but I did it. I am 1 yr post op and I started drinking normally about 7-8 monts post op. My surgeon required 64 oz. of water daily, I had no problem getting that in as long as is sip, sip, sip, sip,sip all day & evening. I ate lots of ice pops too and still do :) You will do ok further down the road, just sip consantly and you will get your water in.

Have you tryed diet pepsi since

Have you tryed diet pepsi since

Yes but it taste like all chemicals now. My taste buds totally changed after surgery. I have a few sips of soda every now and then but NOTHING like I use to drink.

I know what you mean, I live in Texas and yesterday it was 98. I was walking and I felt super dehydrated and just wanted to chug a glass of water.
