Water intake/ food aversion

Twinkle5086 · January 2016

I'm finding it a little hard to get the recommended amount of water in a day. The only way I seem to be able to stand it is if it's literally nearly scalding hot plain water. How do you get recommended amount?

Also is anyone else's morning sickness getting worse? Like even the thought of food has me gaging.

I find it hard to drink the recommended 80 oz of water per day as well, especially now that I don't exercise as much because of the fatigue. I find adding some flavors (like a slice of lemon or a teabag of Japanese barley tea) helps me drink more water. Using an app to track the water intake helps, too. I don't always hut the goal, but I try to get at least 64 oz a day.
