As I've been researching and preparing for my surgical consult and surgery so I know what to expect and what questions to ask, I've heard that a huge struggle post-op is making sure that you drink enough water. There was a lady who thought it was judging other people because she couldn't believe that they were having a hard time getting 64 ounces a day because it was so easy for her. After her own surgery, however, she had the same problem!
Now, I've had my good and my bad days with getting myself hydrated, but I really struggle to get those liquids in each day. There are many things that help me (such as flavoring my water with water enhancers, which are great because they are 0 calories!), but at the end of the day my main issue is just remembering to drink throughout the day.
There are various ways people remember to drink their water, whether it be marking their water bottles with the time of day, keeping a water bottle with them constantly, or even downloading apps that remind them to stay on track. What are some ways that you stay hydrated?
