I understand!!!! Since my last fill adjustment I can only chug 3 times before I am forced to stop and let it go down. And being able to chug more probably means I need a fill......

U think it is one of the hardest things to deal with... Like when I get done mowing the lawn or am at the beach that is all I want is Water. I am still unsuccessful with this. I hope it gets better with time..

I know it is going to be one of the hardest things for me. I'm one of those people that actually prefers a cold bottle of Water over soda anytime. I drink about 5 - 8 a day. When I'm thirsty I can chug a whole bottle without thinking. In fact i just did. I also feel like I have to drink with food. But if I can loose the weight you have lost, it is worth learning not to.

I can also get a gut ache (more of a pouchache,huh?) with really cold drinks...however, I prefer mine cold. I wish I could chug anything too. Sipping is for the birds! LOL. But ah, I miss so much more. And it has to do with food. But then again, it's the reason I was fat to begin with.

DONT FREAK OUT!! We are not talking about drinking, and do not "limit" our drinking, just how fast we CAN drink it. Some can "chug" more than others, some, not as much as the others. :) Take a deep breath and breathe. :) Or better yet, chug a cold drink.

I love chugging Water. Especially when working out. I have no issue pounding the water at this point but I don't have any fills ;)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
