Hi Pharaoh! That does seem low- according to my doc and articles I've read, it should be 1/2 of your body weight in ounces. I can find some links if you want.

Lemon, honey, cucumber are all good in the water! I like to flavor mine up with lemon or cucumber-

yea a touch of flavoring isn't going to hurt..u just need the hydration.........so hydrate on..............

half of your body weight in kilo or pounds???

Half your body weight is half your body weight. If you use the metric system, then just convert it.

My Pegasys nurse recommended at LEAST half my body weight in ozs.

I found on days I couldn't drink much, that eating fruit with high water content helped....also drinking juice mixed half or more with water. Sometimes I would drink diluted powerade.


Honey is great to add to your water! Drink up!

I drank at least 2 liters a day. Half of your weight in POUNDS, in ounces of water (I'm 190 pounds, so 95 ounces) is a good rule too.

Honey is fine, except it adds sugar and calories, and you're already getting plenty of those if you're on Incivek. As long as you drink the water... :-)

That's the info I got as well. I'm not a big fan of plain water so I'm using mio.

So it's 2 liters at LEAST.
Thanks guys.

@bivalve, I'm not on incivek, so I don't think I should worry about sugar.

the half your weight in ounces I think is mainly for incivek. You still need to drink alot of water though. Sugary things aren't good, but I suppose a little is ok to help you get the water down.

Half ur body weight is for all treaters, not just those on incivek. I did not take incivek and was told at least 1/2 my body weight. Fortunately I like water but did dilute gatorade, add a lemon or lime to my water.... I like the cucumber idea as aforementioned and will try it!
I was always concerned that I was drinking too much, as my urine would be almost clear by the end of the day, but doc said I had to keep drinking! (Found that gatorade only made me thirstier)
IMO...add something to the water, it's still water!!!

more wouldn't hurt as long as u don't wash out all u're electrolytes ,,as long as u eat properly everything should be ok............

Water, tea, fruit juice, gatoraide, pedialyte, ginger tea, ginger ale, cammomile tea, they are all made w water.....

Drink whatever you can. The water helps hydrate, help your i sides and assists in the riba passing in clear urine and not golden or a lightbrown color.

I cannot drink this much water. I'm trying. I drink slow to begin with and now I'm trying to power drink. I'll be in the bathroom if you need me.
