Yes.  A person can drink too much water and it can be fatal.  It is not overly common.  Google water intoxication.  You can find a list of symptoms.

yes, but not with the amount you are getting.

Technically you can, but it would be a LOT more than that.  There was a woman that died after drinking four gallons of water in less than one hour during some kind of contest to see who could drink the most.  So I would limit your fluid intake to no more than one or two gallons per hour.

I'm just wondering how often you have to pee every day!  

There's nothing I hate more than waking up from a sound sleep because I have to pee.  (Well, okay, there are things I hate more...)

I am 3 yrs out from RNY. I have found that if I drink more than 6 bottles(16.9oz) per day plus my shakes/protien drinks I am in the bathroom allllll day and miserable.
But for me 6 is just right, unless I am very active/hot/sweaty....
