i keep 2 16 oz bottles on my desk and whenever i have to go pee or on my breaks and lunch i refill them...the water is cold at first but i let them sit so they get less cold...then its easier to down them faster

Thanks everybody for all the ideas. This is MF day 2, now. The headache is almost gone and I'm still not overpoweringly hungry. Iam very tired, however. I'm still off work from surgery on 5/18, thank goodness. I can take a power nap anytime I want.

Here's the plan : My regular glasses hold alittle more than 16 oz . I managed to get one down with each meal so far today . It isn't what one would call fun, but it's do-able. (That big jug in the fridge was just too intimidating, but I can manage one tall glass at a time.) If I drink one glass with each of my 5 MF meals, I will have enough not to dry up and blow away. Maybe I could still have a diet soda with my L&G as a reward.

Thanks again. I was feeling a little discouraged yesterday. Thanks to your input, I have a plan that I know will keep me on the program while keeping my kidneys and my MD happy.

Here I am, happily drinking my water.

Emaroo -
I had terrible, awful headaches for 2 days. then I had hiccups for 2 days.
today was much better & my energy levels were a bit higher.
um....I'm not counting my water....yet.
I'm just trying to drink as much as I can.
I looked at how much I had to drink & was immediately discouraged.
I down a 24 oz glass right after I brush my teeth.
Have my one cup of coffee...yes, with caffeine - I'm weaning, you know.
Then chug another 24 ouncer around 10.
I start to lose count after lunch. I have chugged down another 3 today.
It's very hard to do at work. I'm a music teacher & there is no down time - let alone time to pee!!!
My hardest time is between 3 and 6.
I have my after school shake - but am STARVING by 5.
Today I had my salad before dinner - just to tide me over. And then cooked dinner for the family & had my chicken/turkey sausage.
Here it is 8 & I can still have one more MF item - WOO HOO!
Anyway - keep checking in on the board.
It's better than eating!
