    Default Water questions??

    Just curious how much water is required to drink after the surgery and why is water so important? Also, how do you get it all in?

    I am not a big water drinker at all or much liquids of any kind at that, other than maybe a diet soda once a day. I just don't know how I'm going to get all this water in on a daily basis. Does it have to be all water or do other things count?

    Also, I currently take a water pill, which I can't stay out of the bathroom now with.......I can't imagine what it will be like after adding even more water in.

    There is really no need to repost same question all over the forum.

    You can easily do a query for water or hydration for archived posts on the subject.

    I agree, Shirl. Copying and pasting the same damned thread 3 whopping times in 3 different forums accomplishes nothing other than crowding out other peoples' valid inquiries. It is a form of spamming the forums.

    You can count other liquids. They are important for basic hydration needs. Our bodies depend on fluids. I count my coffee, my protein shakes, water, and anything else I drink. I was not able to meet my 64 oz goal regularly until probably around the 12-13 week mark. But that is just me. Some people can meet it right away. Good luck.

    I just joined this web site and was not familiar with how it worked when I posted those questions. I felt it was a valid inquiry and not considered spamming. I assumed my post would only be read in the forum someone opened, otherwise, they'd never see it, which is why I posted in several places. I

    I'm sure a lot of questions are missed because not everyone goes in every forum. I even asked the question about posting in several forums, if that was the correct way to post, but I'm guessing you didn't see it.

    Yes, I saw that post several days ago. You posted it in two different forums. Since you received several good responses dictating that proper etiquette calls for only posting in one forum, I did not bother to respond to that particular query.

    Well this is the first time i saw this question. I think it is a very good question because I am the exact same. I may drink 2 drinks all day long. I also take a blood pressure pill that also keeps me in the bathroom. Thanks for the question because I know once i get closer to mine I would have wanted to post the same one.
