Water and LOTS of bathroom trips?!?!?!

qbaysmommy7

I just joined yesterday and drank 8 glasses maybe more yesterday and about the same today...anyone else have to go pee like ALL DAY?!?!?! Hoping this is just a beginning thing and my body will get used to it??

I'm about 2 weeks into drinking more water, usualy 80 oz. I have to pee ALL the time. It's a good thing though, if your body isn't fully hydrated it's not going to let go of the fat and toxins.

there is the math of input/output, but it does calm down.

Nope, I've been drinking lot's of water a long time and you still go ALL the time...sorry to dissapoint you but it's really a good thing

I drink around 100 oz a day and it never changes. I go to the bathroom a lot! It forces me to get up from my desk and get extra steps. I really hate when you have to get up out of a warm cozy bed to go the bathroom like 5 times a night

Qbays, remember that you dont have to drink 8 cups of actual water! It's a common misconception. The average body needs 8 cups of fluid a day, but you get a lot of that from other things, such as fruit and veg, as well as tea, coffee, soda, fruit juice, etc.

By all means drink 8 cups of water if you wish, just remember that it isn't essential that it's actual neat water.

LOL!! I think I spend the best part of my day peeing!!! I don't know if it gets any better I've only been doing this for 4 days myself...I have to cross my legs when I sneeze or laugh! I could almost use a pamper when I exercise!! It's terrible!!!!! I'm hoping it gets better, but if it helps me lose the weight I guess I'll suck it up:bigsmile:

if you've not been drinking a lot of water as a standard, you will pee a LOT in the beginning as your body gets rid of toxins and until it's properly hydrated.....

It gets better. I still pee alot more than I did before I started drinking so much water, but I think your bladder gets used to being full or something, so I don't pee nearly as much now (I've been at it about 6 weeks).

Good luck!

may be my age, but after a couple of months, I'm still waiting for it to "calm down", lol

It doesn't change. I've always drank plenty of water and the more you put in, the more you find yourself hurrying to the bathroom. It's a good thing. It helps - water - rid your body of toxins and also aids in many cellular level activities. Your skin will thank you and your kidneys and internal organs will thank you as well for hydrating your body.

so is there a certain time of the day you try to quit drinking water so you are not up so much in the middle of the night?

What goes in, must come out. Be glad you aren't retaining it!

I drink around 3 Litres of water a day, more if I waork out, I can't seem to go 45 minutes without going. Really sucks when you have to drive somewhere and traffic is a mess! Been doing this for over a year and it has not settled down at all. Sorry for the bad news

The more water or fluids I drink the more I visit the rest room. Today has been great I have been going about every 25 minutes. I will start to taper off my fluids around 7:30 so I am not up all night using the bathroom!

I'm new here too but I'm going like a racehorse. Day time is OK but those night time trips are really a bummer

AnitaMcKenna

Yeah it does calm down but try to spread drinking the water through the day. :happy:

I was told to drink my water a tad slower. Sip instead of gulping. It has helped so far.

Try to drink the bulk of your water pre 5pm hopefully then you won't need to get up so much at night.

Pee pee! Hooray!

Derp.

Not to mention it really helps with weight loss... every time you pee you're peeing out toxins and fat... just remember that!

Yeah, pee is removing waste from the body, but peeing out fat? Sorry -- not trying to be a turd. Can you back that up with anything? Just curious.

Q9S7

I don't log my water, I just drink it because it feels good to me. I keep a liter sized bottle w/me at work. It is gone before the end of the day. Is it too much? I don't know, but yes, I certainly make many bathroom trips.

mermx

I drink 4 -6 pints a day, I go in the morning then I go about 2pm then around 5pm then about 2 times in the evening...I think maybe I just sweat the rest out with exercise?

cacraft

I drink my 8 cups during the earlier part of the day - say until 4pm when I'm done work. Then I'll have a cup of tea after dinner. Then that's it!! I hate getting up at night, so I avoid liquids in the evening.

I think it's probably more likely that you turd out fat.
