I am having a REALLY hard time getting in everything I need to right now.  I believe that I am well hydrated as my skin bounces back, I urinate regularly, and it is light in color.  Yes, TMI :)

DO liquids from shakes, etc. COUNT toward the 64oz of fluids?

Hi there, I also count my protein shakes towards my daily fluid intake.

Yes...don't be too worried if it takes a few weeks to get your alloted amount of fluids in. It's hard at first with the swelling. It gets better daily.
