Trying to increase my water intake but it feels like half my day is spent in the bathroom! will my body ever get used to it.

Definitely!: Your kidneys will get used to the volume, and actually increase in size to handle it, and then you won't be voiding as much urine. Of course, drink less caffeinated drinks like coffee and soda too!
