Hi everyone

I'm new to this site as of today!! I have a lot of reservations about being able to consume the required amount of water on a daily basis

I'm not much of a water drinker to begin with. Afraid of dehydration.

The thought of having to consume at least 64oz a day for the rest of my life scares me!!

@@Pastano Well get un-afraid because to be honest I don't get 64 oz of water in a day 8 months post-op and I'm still alive! It's a goal. We strive for it but you won't die if you don't make that number every single day.

I normally drink (pre-surgery) about 90 ounces of Water per day. 64 ounces should be easy for me.

Tips I've picked up on is to drink consistently throughout the day. Small sips here and there add up quickly and next thing you know you've gotten down 64 ounces.

Keep your spirits up!!

My co worker is a avid workout freak and he bought a Water bottle that has 32 oz of water in it. he drinks 2 a day during work and more while he woks out. half the time he doesn't even notice hes done it. You can do it hun keep trying.

I thought that, too. I used to drink 128 oz a day. Now I can barely tolerate 20 oz. Plain water hits my tummy like a brick. Ugh...

Keep in mind, other things you consume throughout the day count toward your water consumption. My NUT explained to me that if you eat sugar free jello or sugar free ice pops, it counts as part of the 64 ounces...so don't panic, we will all figure it out together! ????

Actually, whether you have surgery or not you should be drinking at least 64 oz of water a day. It is more of a challenge immediately after surgery but doable.
