I am a mouth out from surgery and I just am trying to drink more but it is hard when I do drink I don't what to eat. The doctor already had to give me liquid so what can I do?

I always follow a couple of simple rules. Never drink anything less than 30 minutes before and less than 30 minutes after eating. There are a number of very good reasons for that rule but one of them is that drinking fluids fills you up and so you tend to eat less that what you should.

The second rule is never eat less than two hours or more than four hours apart. Less than two hours and you're most likely eating from "head hunger" as opposed to physical hunger. More than four hours and you increase the chance of overeating because you're so hungry.

Dehydration is serious and can land you back in the hospital in a heartbeat. Many folks find that about the only way they can get the recommended 64oz a day of Water is to sip - constantly throughout your day.

It takes a little getting used to but before you know it it becomes second nature. You're gonna love the new you!!
