Getting my Liquids in is the hardest part of all!!

I am having a really hard time getting all the liquids in that I'm supposed to... any advice would be appreciated.

i keep a bottle of water in my hand from the time i get up till I go to bed.

I had a hard time at first .... because water filled me up so much.  I have found that if I take very small sips ... that it doesn't fill me up as much.  I am a constant drinker when I am not eating.  I have become very thirsty ... so I can't wait until I can start drinking again after I have to wait my 30 mins after mealtime. Have you tried crystal light in your water?  Or another flavoring???

How are you doing with your protein?  Or do you have to count your protein with the band ??
