I found a way to get in my water...x-post
So I have been having trouble getting in my liquids. My surgeon has said I must be one of those people who holds on to liquid and doesn't dehydrate easily as I was getting in less than 20 oz most days. Well for the past few days I have been getting in 40+ oz without trying or thinking.
The biggest part of how I have been doing it has been what everyone has been told. ALWAYS have water with you (minus when eating). I have one of those big 40 oz nalgene water bottles. Fill it in the beginning of the day with freezing cold water (if you like cold water, thats the only way I can drink it). Get it in an obnoxiously bright color (mine is neon pink) and put it not in direct eye sight but perphiral (sp) view....the color will catch your eye continously and will remind you to drink. Also, while you eat stick it is the freezer to keep it nice and cold...and it won't tempt you to drink. This worked for me cause it was always taunting me and reminding me to drink and I drank the entire bottle without thought.
*extra. regular water bottles and cups didnt work with me cause I would ignore them.
Hopes this helps someone else!
