Hello everyone. I'm 2 weeks post op and feeling great! I'm having a hard time drinking more that 2 bottles of water a day and I'm a little dehydrated. Any tricks to getting more water down?

I drink sugar free Powerade and use sugar free drink mixes like Crystal Light. It's helpful for me to drink flavored water. I used to be a gulper, which was easy with unflavored water but I have a hard time sipping it. Oh, also, broth is a good way to get more water in if you don't care much for the sweeter flavors. Another thing that helps me is having an insulated cup that will keep my drink hot or cold, that I can just sip on all day. I also count everything water-based toward my water intake for the day.

Best of luck to you!

I'm 10 days post op. I struggle with fluids when I just do water. I'm still on full liquids so I've been doing a couple of protein drinks a day, broth, and then getting the last little bit with water. That's probably not very helpful, but if you hear better pass it on to me too!

Thank you. I will start using my cup.k purchased one and don't use it. Lol. Best of luck to the both of you!
