I just have the low GFR. They recommend paying attention to hydration: I tend to forget to drink enough water. I think i have to also give up my beloved daily can of cola.

@marye2 Some days I want fluids, other days, not so much. So it seems to be a love/hate relationship for me, too! But I feel better when I am hydrated enough. Being on dialysis, I try to get about 60 ounces of fluid into me a day. Water is my go-to, sometimes flavored with True Lemon or True Orange.

Daily can of cola - how are the phosphorous values in your labs? Some people "eat for their labs", meaning their diet revolves around what they see at lab results. I never was a big cola drinker, so it wasn't an issue, but can you switch to a clear soda instead, which they say is better?
