Getting in the 64 oz is not as hard as it seems, but it does require changing your habits. You should carry a water bottle with you and sip from it all day long, except 30 minutes before and after eating. I too had a hard time at first, but I kept at it by recording each time I finished my water bottle, so I'd know how many I had left. It worked for me, give it a try. And remember you've only been at this just over 3 weeks. It will come, if you keep working at it.

I have not had the surgery yet and my max is 45 oz. Working on it and I am sure you are as well. You can only do your personal best.

BTW I love my 20 oz filter sports bottle. I fill it 3 times a day and try to drink it all but it is a work in progress

best of wishes

I too have difficulty with the water intake. I supplement it with sugar free popsicles and that has helped me a lot. Keep looking for alternatives, you'll find what works for you.
 
I definitely have trouble getting it all in too. And drinking plain water right now is hard on my pouch. The SF popsicles def help they are a fav of mine too!!
 
My shakes, coffee (decaf only), tea (also decaf). popsicles, broth (mainly chicken broth but sometimes vegetable) all counted toward my daily requirement. I despise water so I used crystal lite and still do. I just sip sip sip and eventually I made it to the required amount. Jello counts too but not my favorite although I still use it from time to time. Good luck, keep on doing what you are doing and it will come. Joy
