Important reminder abou****er.....

    <--- that's about how much we need to drink.  Thank you for the reminder.

aloha karen!!!! thanks for the reminder of drinking water!!!! i am trying hard to get in all my water but can't...i have used crystal light to help and also other flavored drinks and that helps keep me hydrated....even a little squeeze of lemon juice helps the water to get down....glad you are ok!!!

hugs

Aloha, Karen: Water is usually not my problem ... too much is usually my problem. I'm always running to the bathroom, even in the middle of the night. So I guess I drink my share of water or other drinks, mostly coffee, sometimes light Minute maid juices. I always drank a lot of water even before surgery.  Glad you're OK and that someone caught it in time. Also glad the bump on your leg was OK.

Aloha Eileen.....I hear you about the bathroom dashes often when you are drinking lots of water. That's the only drawback! I am working temporarily at a desk where I can't leave unless someone covers me....so doing the bathroom run is primary on my mind.

By the way....I was missing seeing your posts and checked it out...you had somehow ended up in a "blocked" file! It has been FIXED, and now I can see you posts again. Don't know how that happened, but I am glad it's fixed.

Aloha nui loa,

Maui Karen

Well, I'm glad ... I thought you didn't like me or I had done something to offend you. The day you started the post, I couldn't see it and started my own. I'm happy to see your face again and be able to read your posts. I really missed seeing your smiling face.

Thank you, sweetie....I missed you, too!

Karen, I have never liked water.  I mix Crystal Light or South Beach in a bottle of water.  I have trouble drinking a lot because I really think my stoma is small.  I still have to sip and can't gulp or drink fast.  I never get in the required 64 oz.  I am lucky to get 50 oz.
