Water daily intake

I was just wondering how much water everyone is drinking a day.

Beth, Tricky question...actuall H20...most days...very little & none... Add some kind of flavor to it and combine it with my protein shakes & Arizona Green Tea (my latest addiction)...I get about 70 to 80 ounces a day. Most days. But to just drink water...only in the hot, HOT, HOT! summer. Va

Im with you Virginia... I dont drink that much water plain now. I dont know why. I could at least tolerate it before but after surgery in the beginning water made my pouch hurt and just made me feel icky. (for lack of a better word) sooo it sorta turned me off water. Even now if I drink plain water it feels weird and nasty in my pouch. Its strange I asked my surgeon about it and he said that they cannot understand it either and that its very common amoung wls patients. SO I add 20 oz of tropicanna light lemonade to 32 oz of water for flavor and wala. I have about 50 oz of liquid mostly water I know I need to drink more than that though. and let me tell ya even that is hard to get down! Maybe thats my problem ... hmmm.... Elizabeth M

Beth< YOu should be drinking at leat 64 oz of water a day. Every doc is different on the amount. Since you live in San Diego & most likely are exercising, the you should drink even more than that. It is a proven fact, that you lose better if you fluch the fat from you system with water non-carbonated non-caffeine liquid. I should drink more water than I do but i came from my doc's office today & have lost 110 lbs since 3/15 so i will keep doing what I am doing for now. I am pretty darn happy with what I have accomplished so far. My mother lives in San Diego & I plan to visit there soon. Maybe we canget together when I do visit. I always like meeting weight loss sugury patients. Marilyn, the Bearlady Bullhead City AZ (RNY 3/15/04 110 lbs)
