Hi, so I'm not getting enough fluids. I try to drink on and off, but I forget sometimes while at work. And , it's hard to get down a lot of fluids. Any advice on drinking more fluids??

Some people find that hot fluids go down easier, some people find cold helps. So experiment. I found that drinking hot during the winter (tea, hot cocoa [no sugar added variety]) worked well in the cold winter and cold fluids such as flavored Water (crystal light) worked good in the hot summer. I have recently started to drink Bai which I buy by the case at Sam's club.

I only drank room temp crystal light (fruit punch) for the first 2 weeks post op but now I love, love, love ice Water. All the time. I kept forgetting to drink as well so I would always get in 3 - 8 oz glasses of 1% milk each day and I would set alarms on my phone to remind me to drink
