Fluid Intake
I need help!! i am doing everything in my power to get these 64oz in and i am having such a hard time... i have a made it thru a 20 oz bottle of powerade zero, a popcicle, 2 sips of hot chocolate and just started on a 32 oz cup of ice water... i never imagined getting these fulids in would be so hard... if i sip to much its like i get a HUGE cramp in my oh so tiny tummy now... Any advice on how to get these in any easier?
Small sips really often! It's gonna feel like a full time job right now to get your fluids in. Each day should get a little better. Try different temp liquids as some people find hot or cold or room temp works better for them.

I was having trouble focusing on drinking all the time. I had to develop stupid little tricks. I NEVER put the glass down, I have it in my hand at all times to remind myself that I'm supposed to be drinking it. And sometimes I just have to set a goal. Pour 2 oz of liquid, set a timer for 15 minutes, and race the damn clock. (I particularly have to do that with the protein because I hate the way it tastes.) As above, it is your new full time job until you find drinking easier. Because not getting the fluids down will make you feel *lousy*. Good luck!
