Interesting article posted today. I'm sure it doesn't apply to most of us, but it might be worth a read.

Interesting article. I have consistently struggled to get in the required 64 ounces a day. I am able to do it, but as in the article, there are times I will sit with a glass and struggle to get it do. It actually becomes harder to do when you know you have to drink more

I completely agree!

No offense meant to FitnFabfor2014. Please take this as meant - tongue in cheek - :-P

Thank God for all these articles, written by people with little or no credentials.

Why would I be offended? Everyone has an opinion, just like you.

As stated above, it's an interesting read, whether you believe it or not.

Just my $0.02, but I don't think posting that article here is particularly helpful to WLS patients. No offense meant. So many people here don't get their water in and end up in the ER dehydrated. This article (by a regular person, not even a reputable medical researcher), tacitly gives people a reason to ignore their doctor's water mandate. Again, no offense to the poster, I am just worried that the newly sleeved will believe this blog posting and cause themselves real harm.

Agreed... We should listen to our medical team foremost in all things related to our WLS
