    Flushing out the toxins and salt, keeping your body in correct balance...and exercise every time you need to get up ;)

    Your body will adapt, promise. Drinking water keeps your body from retaining water. :smile:

    Hahahaha.... I remember those days. This is a good thing! So drink up! In fact, 8 cups is a bare minimum. Stay hydrated!

    The point is to keep hydrated, flush your body of nasty toxins & to keep from drinking beverages packed with calories & sugar.

    once your body gets used to the water you wont have to go so much! Water is your best friend! It feeds every organ and muscle in your body! i know its annoying but i promise it will become less frequent:)

    Because you are made up of about 70% water. Your body, systems, and brain functions all need water. You will feel less hungry if you drink water. Water flushes out all impurities in your system. Etc, etc, etc,...

    Because life in the toilet is much more interesting than life outside of the toilet.

    It can actually make you lose up to 10 pounds of water weight- when your body is constantly fully hydrated, it won't retain near as much. Also, it gives you energy and keeps you from craving super salty foods (which adds to water retention.)

    I promise it does get better! I especially hated the middle-of-the-night trips. Your body will adjust. Drinking water helps rev up your metabolism and it helps give you beautiful, glowing skin. So drink up! :drinker:

    Just take it one day at a time!

    I've always drank water but I have gotten to the point now that I don't want anything BUT water. though I do still like my alcohol on occasion lol. I have gotten to where I do drink my 8 glasses and then some now. I am very proud of myself and of everyone else who is trying to get there! You can do it!

    It's a conspiracy set forth originating from the government because they are in tight with water companies. They want you to believe that you need water to survive so you have to pay your water bill and buy bottled water. That creates revenue for the water companies and in turn, they pay more tax to the government. Seriously, you can't escape Big Brother.

    I was going to get all technical but I saw this list and so I am just going to copy & paste:

    Here is a list of reasons:
    1. It hydrates you
    2. If you didn't drink water, how would you live?
    3. It improves muscle tone
    4. It flushes out impurities in your skin so you skin is left clear and glowing.
    5. It gets rid of toxins in your body
    6. Weight Loss
    7. If you don't drink water, you will get dehydrated and you will get sick.
    8. It reduces your appetite
    9. It makes you look younger (you can tell in your face)
    10. Because water makes you feel good.

    I have a catheter so I don't have to get up and go to the bathroom. It's awesome. Next week I'm getting a colostomy bag, too. I plan to name it "Phil".
