Water Intake?

I carry around a 32 ounce water bottle with me at all times.  I fill the water bottle with water, raspberry crystal light and I add a blue raspberry protein bullet to it.  The protein bullet has 40 grams of protein to help.  I try and drink two bottles a day.  IF I make it then there is 64 oz of water and 60 grams of protein. 

OMG this is the bast Ive done, and Ive MAYBE gotten in 32 ounces... counting soup!

My pee is light yellow and Ive pooped today, thats a good sign, right?

Water is my biggest concern right now!  I can only get about 2 bottles in (32 oz) which is half of what my intake should be.  I'm almost 3 weeks post op.  I find tha****er makes me a little ill and actually hurts the pouch, I've tried crystal light, the lipton to go white tea, and I just can't seem to get it all in. I think the biggest problem is that I can't drink tons of water at once.  I guess it's all trial and error

My surgeon's office told us right up front that most people have difficulties with water.  They suggested drinking Propel, Crystal Lite, etc...  Give it a try.  I have not had any problems with these.  My problem is not being able to drink with meals.  Then when you wait 1 hour after meals to drink, it is almost time to eat again!
