I never have been able to drink 64 oz of Water. It’s been 10 months and I usually struggle to get 40 oz. But the key to a good weight loss is the water!

"Just keep sipping"

Humans really do need upwards of 128oz of Water a day... our bodies use water to break down fat, so if you aren't giving it enough to do what it needs to in order to cover the normal daily needs, fat loss is going to suffer.

Keep a bottle with you at all times and just keep taking sips.

It is common for your taste buds to change after surgery. Be willing to experiment. After surgery, my taste buds changed dramatically. Even Water changed. In the hospital it tasted excessively chlorinated and I could not drink it. So I experimented. sugar free popsicles became my best friend. Some individuals find hot or cold can help with fluids. For me, I found that I could tolerate flavored water. So I began using Crystal Light. I also found a new drink Bai which I liked cold. In the winter, I found that I tolerate Hot Drinks such as piping hot cocoa. But you have to use the "No Sugar Added" variety. Also fine English teas were very good.

The Fluid requirement is met by a combination. It is not only the water that you drink each day. But also the water you drink when you take your Vitamins and medicine. It is the milk you drink. It is the fluids content of the Protein Shakes. It is the water component of the Soups you take. It is met by flavored water such as Crystal Light. It is met by sugar free popsicles. It is met by tea and Decaf coffee. It is a combination of all the fluids that you consume during the day.
