Does the Peeing ever STOP?!

I started consuming half my body weight in water daily over the last month and I swear if I didn't know better you'd think I had the bladder of a pregnant woman... Does your body ever adjust so you're not peeing every 10 minutes? :noway:

    Nope, I've been drinking water exclusively for almost 2 years and I'm constantly having to go.

    LOL. I drink well over 120 oz throughout my work day & I've got it down to hourly bathroom breaks. Used to go more frequently so I'll take hourly now :laugh:

    I thought you were exaggerating about every 10 minutes...heh, I go about once an hour too, maybe a little longer.

    Kegels and time.

    Seriously.

    I was going every hour when I first increased my water intake, now I drink a gallon a day and can go hours and hours without a trip to the bathroom.

    **Note: There is a myth that "holding it" will cause you to develop a UTI. I asked my doctor. She said this is not true - the urine in your bladder is sterile, so there's nothing to get infected until it is exposed to something outside of the body.
  • Nope. For the past year or so, I've been drinking about a gallon of water a day plus coffee and diet soda, and I practically live in the restroom. Keeps me from just sitting at my desk, though.

    Nope, seems like I'm going to the bathroom about every hour and a half-ish and that's been going on for well over a year and a half for me.

    Not that I know of. Just watch the color. It needs to be pale yellow....if its clear, then you have had too much.

    mine is as clear coming out as it is going in? that's a bad thing then?

    Well, I never heard that clear meant youve had too much. In the Army we always try to be peeing clear so that we dont dehydrate. I drink a lot of water, but I work out so hard in AM that I dont pee again until after lunch usually, then it regular trips back and forth. A lot of the time I make the trip to the far side of the building just so I am going a little farther. a couple hundred feet per trip isnt much but when you start adding up all the trips.......

    LOL - Not really... I thought for a while that I might be developing some kind of medical issue or something. This why I've tried to stop drinking water before bed, though - I wake up all night long, otherwise!
