I can't get in my water...lucky if I drink 6 oz in a day. Why is it so important? I never drank much before the surgery. Am I really hurting myself by NOT drinking water?

What do you drink if you don't drink water? I drink water and decaf tea with lemon. I get 64 oz of a combination of the two. Really if you get near 64 oz of fluid a day, it really shouldn't matter if it is water or not.
Water helps boost your metabolism, flushes toxins from your body, regulates your bowels (if I don't get at least 100 oz in, I'm sooo constipated!), and keeps you hydrated. How are you feeling?
Tammy - you do need fluids to help you loose weight. It flushes the system out. If you can't drink water, try crystal light or something like that. 7-11 has a crystal light slurpee which makes a great treat and also counts as fluids! Be careful that you don't dehydrate! Good luck hun!
