I am almost 3 months and eat between 600 and 800 a day depending on if I stay up to study. My days are usually from 5 am to 12 am or 7 am to 2 am. So I have a lot more time than others to fuel myself. Most people stay around 500 - 600 from what I have seen.

I still don't get all my Water in everyday. It is tough! Same with Protein. I average 60 grams a day and probably around 50 oz for Water. I need to buckle down with the water though!

I got sick a few weeks ago, maybe a month, and ended up in the hospital because of dehydration. I am sure if I had been keeping up with it before it wouldn't have been so bad.

Have you tried hot/cold/room temp variations? Some people say temp can help.

Also, try adding some crystal light/lemon/flavoring to it. I have heard that plain Water is what hurts people.

      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.
