I purchased a 64 oz Water bottle from amazon for like 20$ I always keep a glass nearby and can make it through in 30 minutes to an hour. I'm not saying I always make it through the entire 64 oz a day but having a full glass near by definitely makes me more prone to drinking it. I also really like the ice tea crystal light!

Depending on the day. Sometimes I can finish 33oz in less than 1hr. Some other days 20 feels like too much work over 3 hrs

I don't usually it the required amount in but found drinking protein water was killing two birds with one stone...I also got an infused water bottle from my hospital and I like putting lemons or some type of fruit in it to give the water some flavor...

Oh thank you all for help haven't tried Protein Water hmmm.

I found it easier for me to get down warm fluids better so I use low sodium Chicken broth packs mixed in16oz of H20 and drink 4 of those daily

Ok thank you so much

@@becky ulibarri

i can totalllllly relate

6 weeks PO i was having a lot of trouble trouble my 64 oz water/liquids

i couldn't drink that much

i ended about going to the hospital

re- hydration by IV

it was a bummer

i'll never forget the date

Valentines' Day!!!

DH brought flowers to the hospital!!

ahhhhh, he is so smart

after all, he married me 25 years ago

many (not WE) @ LipstickLady

drink liquids at room temperature

that's what i still do

crystal lite is also a winner

find that 64 or 32 oz Water bottle - it did help in my case

still does

i see the glass half full, rather than half empty!!

i am 5+ years PO and i still use the bottle

good luck bud

Deal With It!!

"it ain't easy......it ain't easy...........don't let the...............

(name that tune)!!

i've always considered Water situations are the hardest

not drinking while you eat

not drinking after you eat for 30-45 minutes (per NUT)

drinking 64+ oz a day

all of the above are imperative !!

listen to others (especially me LOL)

People are smart, and helpful here

you can bring a horse to water

but you can't make him drink!!!

you'll be successful sooner than later

good luck newbie

Yes same with me. I was great for 2 weeks now not so much . Having a hard time finding something I want to drink . Fair life milk is something I mix with Protein in the morning but I am not even close to 90 Oz

I also have not been hitting my Water goal. How do you know if you need to go to hospital for IV?

I've been drinking Powerade Zero. A couple of 22 oz. containers along with a couple of Protein shakes equate to 66 oz. It takes a bit to work up to that. I'm on week 4 and just now beginning to manage the 64 oz. recommendation. The Powerade is flavored and goes down easier than Water for me. Good luck!
