Try thinking about how not to get dehydration. Make sure you spend your days sipping your Water. I used a med cup (one ounce cup) and kept my water bottle nearby. Fill up a glass with Water and pour into a smaller sip cup. Keep working on your fluids, have a sugar-free popsicle, more fluids. Keep the water at your bed stand at night and each time you wake up have a few ounces of water. I used to get up 3 times at night to potty, and each time I would pour myself 3 medicine cups of water before I got into bed. I got up in the morning and I started back on my water.

Do your best, if water gets rough try some decaff peppermint tea (which is refreshing warm or cold) with your favorite artificial sweetener and it sooths the belly.

Remember something since you are newly sleeved. You may feel like you get hungry a lot (your tummy goes in waves, or knots and grumbles. That is often a sign of acid, gas or it could be something as simple as your stomach having healing pains (like the pain you get from cutting your finger) it happens in your tummy too. A lot of people consider it constant hunger. Unfortunately, being hungry, full, acid, gas & healing all feel about the same.

Good luck, sip, walk and rest ;) Welcome to the losers bench.

      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.
