How much H20?

I've been getting around 2 - 2.5 liters in most days. I went to a website yesterday that had a bunch of different weight loss related calculators and according to it, at 390 lbs I ought to be getting 132oz per day. I'm interested to know what you guys target is and what you weigh. You vets who are already down to normal could share with me what you consumed when you were my size and it would be much appreciated. I guess I could get on the outside of a little over a gallon per day but it would take work.

I know I don't drink as much as I should.  But what I do to drink what I DO drink is, I keep nothing to drink bu****er in my house.....I got some Crystal Light around to add to it when I am wanting flavor.  Also, restaurants, I usually only ge****er.  And I try to drink a couple-3 bottles plus here at work each day.

I shoot for 60-80 oz a day of water. I weigh 215 now. When I was in the inital loss faze I just drank all I could stand. Water and green tea is what I lived on. The more you drink the less likley you will get stones. It was about six mounths out before I could start getting in the propper amount of water. It sounds like your getting plenty of water to me but I have been told that I dont know much(****) before....lol Keep up the great work, Derrick

Before my surgery, I could probably finish off a 2 2-liter bottles of Diet Pepsi in a day, no problem.  Nowadays, I think my intake is similar to yours. While more is better (for avoiding constipation and dehydration), I wouldn't put too much stock in the water-intake calculators your find on various web sites.  At best, they're only advisory, and at the extremes of weight, they're probably very far off the mark. Hmmmm... I just looked at my NUT's notes for my "Stage 4" diet.  96-128oz H2O per day.  I don't want to get all my exercise by running to the can every hour! /Steve

I shoot for 1.5 gallons but I usually only drink a little over a gallon a day.  The only drawback to drinking that much is I have to pee every 30 minutes. 

OUCH! I'm not even close to that. I could proably drink that much beer in one day  when I was a youngster.
