I know that drinking my water is important, but my gosh!!!!! The trips to the bathroom are driving me crazy!!!!!!!

I had to step out of an important meeting twice yesterday because I couldn't hold it any longer.

Is there a trick to drinking it at the right time? Is it me or does more seem to come out than what was put in

I don't know. I have been on Medifast 64 days and heard the bathroom trips lessen but I just went and need to go again after I type this message. I drink over 100 oz of plain water a day, and also drink tea, coffee, one diet soda and sometimes some Crystal Light.

Oh yeah, I thought that sooner or later everything would equalize but no, I am wearing a path in the carpet. Think of it as exercise you wouldn't otherwise get and even more calories burned!

Haaaa! You are right about that! I think I'm wearing a path in the carpet as well. That is definitely exerceise!

This isn't complaining I hear is it?

It is alot of water, but I guess I had gotten used to it a long time ago given that I was required to drink 64 oz a day after gastric bypass. I will admit that I still make lots of trips to "the room", but its well worth it. Being a teacher, trapped in a room for what seems to be an eternity while doing a little dance to hold it in is not the most fun thing, but hey, at least I can run now.

My grandmother used to say to cross your legs and hold your breath if you had to wait.

I can totally understand this - at my work in China the toilet is miles away and I have beaten a path there in the last three weeks and worn away the tiles not to mention the plumbing!

But that is nothing compared to my experience last weekend hehehe - I went to buy some DVD's from the 'copy' market and by the time i found a park I was 'busting' real tie a reef knot in it type of busting - looking for a tree or a back alley - somewhere I could go - but this is China and there are millions of people around everywhere so I had to dance and imagine dry dusty deserts!

As soon as I got to the hidden place I asked for the toilet and was directed to the next flor - a dingy horrible little restaurant with dingy horrible people hanging around - they all laughed their heads of at the sight of a foreigner big nose in such a place and directed me down another corridor, ditto for the next stop - more people, more laughter, another floor up until 5 times I was redirected to a loo - boy, it took a while for my teeth to float back down into their sockets hehehe

But then again, I could have been like the woman who died of water intoxication - so it probably wasn't that bad.

Kind regards
