Yup, I've had my 16 today :-)       06/22/05 06:28 PM Edit Reply Quote AlyssaKaye Reged: 03/21/05 Posts: 193 Loc: USA I have 16 (8 oz) glasses each day for a total of 128 oz. Honestly, it's just 8 normal size water bottles (Dasani or whatever). That even gets you a little extra, because I believe those bottles are 16.9 oz. (I can't always get the last bit out though, so I think it comes out even for me.) I drink one 16 oz water bottle every hour and a half, from 9 am to 9 pm. I stop drinking out of habit and just drink if I want some with food/ brushing my teeth or whatever after 9 pm, to eliminate the having to pee in the night. I usually make it through the night just fine, but believe me peeing is definitely my first thought after I turn off the alarm! How much are you usually drinking now? The first 3-4 days to a week can seem hard, especially it this is a major increase. After that, your bladder adjusts and it gets much easier. I'm D, so during that time, as many times as I had to go to the bathroom, I was just glad it was to pee! With D, if you have to go, sometimes you can't help yourself. Having to pee has much more warning, so you can go more "at your convinience". Lol. Ah, the things you can suddenly start to take for granted. I believe all the water has helped my D, but mostly, it just makes be feel better all-over, as I used to be so draggy and dehydrated. I feel generally stronger and more ready to meet the day now. -------------------- ~~~Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.~~~ Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
