This is probably a dumb question but do you guys drink Water? I was told not to drink straight water. Not sure why. I've been drinking tea but I really need my water.

Drink Water. 48-64 oz daily. I have to. Not he 1st or 2nd day but def after! If not u will dehydrate. U can have chicken broth, ice pops or Jello in place of it but u need water before any protien

I think u need to ask questions like 'why' when u are told not to do something, that way u can get it in your mind the reasons behind such thinking. Most people drink Water, its part of life, yes u can get your daily Fluid intake from other sources such as food and drink, it doesnt necessarily have to be plain water but water is convenient and easy to drink so i am sure it wont do u any harm at all, based on the fact that the whole world drinks water. You do need to make a quick phone call to your doctors and ask them why :)

      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.
