Water Intake Questtion

I can drink close to 100 oz of water a day mostly in an 8 hour period while I am at work. Is this too much to drink during that time frame. I dont drink when I eat, I wait 30 to 45 minutes to drink again. Thanks Dawn 316/183/165

Dawn, I also drink almost all my fluids while I'm at work. I think what you're doing is fine. Linn

Just thought of something I should've added. When distance runners drink too much when exercising they can have problems. The main reason is they are sweating out the electrolytes and diluting them to the point where the ion gradients no longer exist - and everything in our bodies run on some sort of ion gradient. Linn

Dawn, I would think that would be OK. I do most of my fluids in the evening over a 4 to 5 hour period and usually get in at least 50 to 60 oz then. IF in doubt tho, ask your surgeon or dietitian. Mary
