How much liquids?
Most docs say at least 64 oz a day. I drink at least 100 oz a day, easily.

Some of us actually can guzzle down a 20 oz bottle of water at a sitting. I have no problem with it, and haven't since I was about 3 months out.
I probably drink 100 oz or more of liquids every day. I only drink water, decaf coffee, herbal tea, and 5-calorie juice drinks. I almost always have something drink with me, usually a cup of decaf, except 30 minutes before and after my meals.
64oz or more a day for me....I am 5 weeks out and while I can't guzzle a 20 oz drink...I can down 8 oz's pretty easily...I ALWAYS have a bottle of water with me...most often I also have a flavored water of some kind with me too...even when it is 15 degrees outside...I still drink...except 30 min before and 30 minutes after I eat.
