Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 Hi Mickey! First let me congratulate you on your -43 lbs lost! Way to go for only one month! Secondly, Im 9 1/2 months out and can drink 16 ounces in about half an hour.......I can gulp 8 ounces at once with no problems though. So, on average I get in at least 64 ounces if not more. some days more than others especially if its hot. With time, you will be able to drink alot more but in the meantime sip, sip, sip and carry your water with you everywhere you go!!

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 Mickey, Get yourself a giant sipper with built in straw (my dh just picked one up - it held 32 oz. of Pepsi - at a turnpike Roy ), fill it and just carry it all day and SIP. I fill mine 2 or three times a day and have been pretty successful. The straw keeps me from gulping and it has room for ice as well.
