64 oz here as well but I try to get in 80-100 oz of fluid a day. I constantly carry a water bottle and sip it all the time.

Topic: RE: water
i was told 64-70 oz per day...i make sure that i hit that every day, but i include isopure, broth, tea, and anything else on the clear liquids list as part of my water count ( my doc says that's ok)...getting enough fluid every day is vital...some of it should be plain water but aim for the total fluid count...as long as you aren't getting any caffeine it will all hydrate you

How much water do you drink every day? Or maybe I should ask, how much have you been told to drink?

Topic: RE: What are you doing for exercise?
I can't do any weights yet cause my surgery was open and I still can't lift more than a few pounds for a 2-3 more weeks. I figure if I atleast walk right now....no matter how bad I feel...then I am doing more than I did before surgery. I'm hoping that I can walk at home everyday and walk around the parking deck at work once I go back as well. Maybe get someone to walk around with me for 15-20 mins at lunch. My goal is I want to be able to go with my daughter to her kick boxing class and not feel like I'm going to fall over. Maybe 30-40 more lbs off and I will be able too do that as well!

Topic: What are you doing for exercise?
Ok how much exercise are each of you getting in and what are you doing? I'm almost 4 weeks out and I am walking about 13-15 mins a day on the treadmill. I started with 10 mins and working my way up. I walk at 1.8 miles per hour so that gets me between a lap and half and two laps. I know I need to add more exercise in to my day but I go back to work on Monday and I know it will take a lot out of me....plus I am still over 300lbs lol.
