Hydration
Today, we’re focusing on hydration—your first step in building a comeback routine. Small, steady sips can make a big difference in how you feel.
‍
- Start your day with a glass of water (8–12 oz), sipping slowly.
- Figure out your hydration goal: a common starting point is half your body weight (in pounds) in ounces of water.
- Example: 120 lbs = 60 oz (about four 16-oz bottles).
- Adjust as needed with your care team’s advice.
- Set reminders for water breaks throughout the day (e.g., every 2–3 hours).
- If swallowing is difficult, sit upright and take small sips. Try a straw or thicker liquids if recommended.
- Use a favorite cup or bottle to make drinking water easier and more enjoyable.
- Add a slice of lemon, cucumber, or a splash of juice for flavor—if your care team says it’s okay.
- On hot days or after movement, drink a little extra water to replace what you lose.
- Include hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumber, or oranges in your meals.
- Avoid sugary or highly caffeinated drinks, which can worsen dehydration.
- Listen to your body—if you feel thirsty, tired, or your mouth is dry, take a sip.

“Even small steps—like a sip of water—can help you move forward.

Hydration is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to support your MG recovery. Even mild dehydration can make muscle weakness, fatigue, and swallowing issues worse. By staying hydrated, you’re giving your body the foundation it needs for strength, safe swallowing, and daily resilience.
