I have not drank any Coke in the past 2 weeks...Im happy about that since I was a 2 litre a day coke drinker (cant drink diet)...The withdrawal headaches were bad but Im all over that and dont crave soda anymore (so far so good) I am desperately trying to drink as much water as I can but I get nauseous if I drink too much... and Im not up to 8 cups a day yet!! Any tips?

try adding a lemon, or a lime. try caffeine free tea.

i cant seem to get water down either. after me insisting this to my MD, she said Crystal Light would be good.

i read somewhere we are supposed to drink 1/2 our body weight in ounces of water -- is this really possible??

drinking half of your body weight in water isn't really that bad. I'm about there. Work it out slowly. Try drinking water out of a glass with a straw or one of those sport bottles. Also freezing some of the water, and adding to it works for me. I cut my coffee to two a day, and then water. I generally only get one pop in and its caffenie free diet. Most plans say you can count that as water as long as you get a least 4 glass of real water in. As to say fake water (don't know where that came from). hope this helps

thanks ... im pretty much drink just the crystal light ... maybe a diet coke 1x a week or so ... i just cant imagine consuming all that liquid

i mean i have a LOT to lose!! i think my figures came out to be 24 glasses of water a day ... i'll try to get there, but just am SO far away from that right now ... im pushing 60-80 ounces down and thats tough!!
