OK, first off, I suck at drinking water. Actually, I've always had trouble drinking enough liquids, and I'm almost always on the edge of dehydration.
Realizing how important drinking water is (especially after the surgery), and also the small amounts at a time thing, I had a bizarre idea. I went to Walmart and bought a few cheap tourist shot glasses. I have one at work.
I fill it up (about 2/3 of the way), drink it down. Fill it up, drink it down. Every 15 minutes to half hour. It's actually working - I did it to learn portions, but I'm actually drinking more water this way. And there's honestly something very cathartic about drinking out of a shot glass at work.
