    I am only 11 days out and it is hard to get all 64 oz. in. However my dietician said it did not have to be all water.
    It was 64 oz. of fluids. I drink bottled diet green teas, water, diluted grape juice etc. to get some variety. My protein
    shakes (which I am SO tired of) are 8 oz. it adds up. I also keep a cup of ice next to my bed at night and I much ice
    chips while we watch TV.

    I defintely use juice and dilute it with water. I can't stand sugar free tasting stuff - so I have to drink it plain or add juice. Also, try to sip 1-2 ounces every 15 minutes. That really helps.

    it is really hard! my best advice is to walk and drink. It sort of jiggles the liquid thru your tiny tummy!
