Went to my NUT today and she's more concerned with me getting my Water in. I am able to start on some mushy foods and she wants me to try to get Protein in with foods but she would prefer for me to get my water in first. She also said that water that you use to make a shake doesn't count towards water intake. So for example I mix Unjury with crystal light/water and that doesn't count towards water but counts towards protein. Ugh so much stuff to learn.

Wow that's great. I still get there but right now I get full really fast and there doesn't seen to be enough time in the day to sip all my Water. But from the post its common and gets better.

Before my surgery I frankly asked my nutritionist which was more important...protein or Water. She said water. I have an aversion to most dairy products. I tried all kinds of Protein powders and so I stick with Isopure and water. I do feel lethargic throughout the day so I'm trying hard to focus on all the other things. Supplemental Vitamins, water and sf pudding. That's about 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.
