I'm having a hard time getting my 64 oz of fluid in.
When you sip. How much is a sip exactly?
Any tips?

Well, I have never measured one but maybe a tablespoon? We were told to drink/sip an ounce every 15 min and set a timer to remind us. That would be 4 ounces an hour and if you were up for 16 hours, you would get in your 64oz. In the beginning, it all counts, popcysles, jello, fluids and you don't have to wait before and after "eating" since you are only having liquids.
It does get easier, I promise.

Then there was the diet cherry limeade from Sonic --- who knew it was carbonated. Another not so smart experience there, too! I was shopping and was SO thirsty... =)
