I guess I am lucky as I love Water by itself, it don't bother me. I find it extremely hard to take in 68 oz of water (which I haven't been able to do yet). You can't drink 15 to 30 min before a meal....that doesn't leave much time in between meals where you can drink..except at nighttime (for me anyways). That is the real challenging thing for me. I can drink a 20oz bottle throughout the day and that is it. Really do not know how to address this issue anymore, unless I gulp down a 10 oz at a time...but we are supposed to take "little sips" which impairs the capacity to take in my fluids. So yeah, that is a challenge for me 2.

I'm a teacher and have 5-6 Water bottles in my room at any given time 1 at every station in my room. My kids laugh at me because they know station 1 has hot water. I always start my day with 20 oz of warm water. Warm water has its own flavor. In the summer I do a lot of detox water that has mint cucumbers and green tea in it... I don't like artificial sweetners so water is really my only option.

I'm reallllyyyy having trouble with this too. I'm in a car all day driving to and from patients houses. I finally bought a cooler and keep Water with me which has helped some. The only thing I can say is keep it in your face so you remember to drink it.

      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.
