Star4Liberty,

I know we recommend that you drink 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water each day.  However, you don't have to start that all at once.  Start slowly and "train" your bladder.  Consider starting with 3 glasses per day, and then every few days add in another glass.  Also, as you suggested, giving up some coffee may help.  Coffee is a diuretic, and will make you run to the bathroom more frequently than even water will.

Sincerely,

Since starting the Slim FAst Plan,  I have obviously increased the intake of liquids.   Today in between 12 Step Meetings - I went to OA at 10 and AA at Noon - I have to use the ladies room twice.    This may be a side effect of the weight loss.   I'm not sure.   Nevertheless,  when I go to work,  this may be a problem.   I work as a Cashier and frequently will be at the Register for up to 4 hours at a time.    Perhaps giving up the coffee may be the answer.    Any Insight will be apreciated.
