So I absolutely love water. It has always been my favorite drink to drink. Before surgery I would drink like 6-8 water bottles a day. Now that I have had surgery, it is a lot harder to drink that much water BC my stomach won't really hold that much at a time, and sipping water all day seems that I can't get 64 oz in because it gets warm so fast, and sometimes I just need to taste something lol. Does anyone think that I can count Powerade zero as my intake for some water? Like maybe 15 oz or less a day.

Not sure about the Powerade but I do have a suggestion for your water. Go to Walmart and grab on of their insulated tumblers in the camping section. They are only about $9. I have one of the 30oz ones and it will keep water cold for hours at a time.

My Dr says yes and counts protein drinks as well.

My NUT says yes to Powerade zero as fluid intake- all of it- if cRystal Light is ok then I think anything without caffeine or sugar is fine-

My NUT says 64oz of fluid besides the protein drinks, but crystal light and any noncaloric noncaffeine drinks count.

Thanks Guys!!

Absolutely, same as water, and it's half price this week at Publix.
