Carrying a HUGE Bottle

well Gang I am still having problems getting in water. I probably "honestly" only take in maybe 20 ounces a day with most of that being before 5 pm. Once I am at home it seems I forget to drink. I have been feeling yucky all the time, probably because of all the sugar I consume. I have been showing signs of dehydration and am opting to blame my yuckiness on that instead of my best friend sugar . I went out last nite and purchases a bottel that holds 90 ounces. I filled it this am and at 1:33 pm (my current time) I have finished half. I feel stuffed, cant seem to stay out of the bathroom and just plain silly holding the big ole thing but I am hoping it helps. anyone else feel like they are dehydrated?

Dear Diana, Getting my water in has never been much of a problem for me until recently. In fact, 64 oz. doesn't feel like enough anymore. I start to feel dehydrated after just a few hours if I haven't been able to drink. I don't know how much of that is just in my head, but I do take my water with me just about everywhere. Best of luck, Sally

I feel ya. I think I stay dehydrated. I just can't seem to get alot of water in. I swear it nauseates me if I drink very much. I tried the big bottle like you've got. By the end of the day I could look at the bottle and start to gag. LOL. So, now I am back to small bottles. They seem less intimidating, and I don't gag when I see them. LOL. Good luck! I need some good luck too. I know I could feel so much better if I would just get some more fluids in. Melissa

What does dehydration feel like? I have always had a hard time with water...just cant drink alot of it. ..so i drink Sobe Lean and green tea diet..or crystal light. I count jello as liquid too...but rarely get 64 oz in a day of liquid. I am 3 years out. Today its only 42 oz for me. I know thats bad...but im trying. Cha

Diana, I know this has been an issue you've been working on for awhile now. It sounds like you're headed in the right direction!!!! Hope the big bottle does the trick!!!!! Tracy

Good luck Diana. I had lots of of trouble early out drinking water then it became a breeze. I could easily drink 100 oz a day. Now I'm struggling with water again, not sure if it's because of the chilly weather or what is going on. I did buy some of the Walmart brand individual packets to add to 16 oz bottles of water today and will see if that helps going forward. I think I'm just sick of water. I can definitely tell when I haven't drank enough, I feel lethergic and my skin is extra dry. Dana
