Cant Drink Anything!



Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone for all the great advise you have no idea how you all helped me. I happened to have pepermint tea in house and amazingly it went down without any problems i also started the sf popsicles and they were good too. I feel so much better I think i was on the brink of dasaster and you guys saved me. My family noticed a difference in me already. I have pepped up. My daughter told me i dont look like im dying now! So far I have drank 3 cups of tea wich is crazy considering that is more thanI drank in the past two days. Good night everyone hope tomorrow will be a new day!

One thing I tried was sipping a 5 Hour Energy. I got the idea from a post on here. When you can't eat and drink, you feel terrible. The drink gave me energy and helped me feel so much better. Just something you might want to try. Hot tea was also a life saver for me. The first couple of weeks are hard, but I promise you will get better each and every day. Hugs!

5 hour energy has caffeine which is a diuretic and will contribute to further dehydration. Just a heads up.

SoBe Lifewater is my friend. Has good Vitamins, flavor and no sugar. It also still tastes good warm.

      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.
