congrats Nikki thats great!!! wow 2L! You don't need any more than that otherwise you can overwork your kidneys... having TOO much water can be just as bad as too little... (underwork/overwork the kidneys)... unless you do lots of exercise etc then of course you need more.
does that mean your "thirst" buds have come alive again? hehe what i mean is, now you are drinking again, have you felt you can tell when you are thirsty now? whereas before you couldnt? (like me).
