I've read here tht ppl say tht having Hot Drinks makes them feel good and eat better... so is cold water or drinks a bad choice in general? or it has nothing to do wth wt Im feeling?

Cold drinks will be the bane of your existance ;) Mornings especially it is very painful for me I usually drink Decaf coffee or caffine free teas. I can usually drink colder stuff later in the afternoon and in the evening but if drank too quick they hurt really bad and sometimes actually come back up. You have to remember your stomach is a muscle and with any muscle when something cold touches it, it likes to constrict ;)

Try room temperature Water. That goes down easier for me. You don't "need" cold drinks, you just became accustomed to them. People survived eons before electricity and cold drinks were readily available.

If you do try a cold drink, you may have to take tiny sips for it not to be uncomfy.

If there cold ! I don't drink them.

If I get a Lemonade, I haven't done that yet.

I will slowly sip.

Tap Water is fine, it's not to cold.

Otherwise it hurts to much for me.

There's nothing wrong with cold drinks. But if they hurt, then lay off them for a while. You are still healing. I don't have any problems with ice Water or other ice cold drinks. You just might not want to drink something that cold right before eating.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
