I am on a reduced fluid regimen. I am supposed to limit myself to 1 1/2
to 2 liters of fluid per day. That includes water, tea, coffee, juice
and any other beverages, plus the milk I have in cereal, high water
content fruit, yogurt etc. I gauge it relatively carefully but
sometimes I have to really watch it.
