Vsg and working in extreme heat, worried about dehydration.

[Jrayeb93 5]

I was sleeved 6/30 and return to work on 7/26. I work as a parking cashier at a stadium in Miami. So already y'all can imagine that heat mixed with such high humidity. Standing on asphalt with the sun beating down, asphalt returning that heat back up, and car exhaust making it that much worse. Many employees throughout the season drop like flies do to the heat without being sleeved. I'm worried about how to safely work without getting dehydrated. Thankfully it's events only so I won't be there every day. But anyone have warnings or tips for me? Obviously keep a water bottle with me and sip sip sip and make sure I eat every two or at least three hours. Can you begin drinking more than one ounce of Water at a time after a few weeks?

When I returned to work and coaching baseball, I always had minimum of my daily Water intake with me at all times, I always had a cooler with ice, premixed Protein Drink and water with me (at least 64 oz of bottled water), I never knew how my day would go, so be prepared. I've been dehydrated once during the past 10 months and it is horrible. I could drink around 4oz at a time around a month out.

Standing on low calories is going to be more of an issue than the Water.

Standing hasn't been an issue for me at all I walk almost all day long somedays 10 miles in totality I'm just so bored I have nothing better to do and there's only so much Netflix I can watch. And by then my calorie count will be much higher than it is now cause I'll have started on pureed/soft foods. My Protein is always over 70 g. So I'm not really worrying too much about that tbh

Water is something you can increase as you are comfortable. There is no reason to limit your drinking to one ounce if 2 ounces is comfortable.
