i am just 5 days out and i need to know exactly how much water i should be drinking?! i can sip on a bottle of water constantly with no problem and drink 2 or 3 of those a day. but am i supposed to only sip a couple ounces then wait 15 minutes? will it stretch my pouch out it i don't? need advice. thanks :-)

you won't stretch anything out with drinking.. sip as much as you can w/o soreness or pressure.. try to get at least 65oz+ a day.. fluids run right through, so as long as your swelling tolerates it.. just keep sipping.

Drink 2 oz every 15 minutes. Please DO NOT miss.
This includes when you drink your protein Drink Isopure too.

Again Drink 2 oz every 15 minutes. If you have a timer, use it.
If you do this, you will be ahead of the game. Promise!

I was gonna say the same thing w/ the timer.. Thats what I did in the beginning.. I still sometimes do it when Im home, though I can drink more then 2ozs at a time, lol. Only reason is because for some reason when Im home I dont drink as much as w
hen Im at work. I can drink 64ozs at work, and Im lucky if I can get in 20 at home. so the timer helps me remember to drink..

yes yes great that at least you get it in at work.

And if we can drink more than 2 oz...it is suggested to do so....

Good Job!

I shoot for 64 oz per day. Like the others have said, be sure and sip regularly.
