I haven’t drank enough water for the day and I ended up getting what feels like cramps does this happen to other people

Cramps where? Stomach? Legs, muscles?

You absolutely HAVE to push the fluids, or you will get dehydrated quickly and end up in the hospital with an IV. Carry a bottle of whatever you can tolerate with you everywhere.

Yea I got really big stomach cramps

I get pain if I drink plain water and it suddenly tastes like crap post op (3 months out). I only drink water with crystal light or the stevia version of it. I can drink flavored water nearly no problem. I have a 25 oz s’well at home and drink at least 1 before each meal and a 17 oz one I carry with me.

I get headaches as soon as I’m even remotely dehydrated. Plus, it controls my hunger better.
