Ok how much Water are you supposed to be able to drink @ 5 weeks out? I know your supposed to get 64 + oz ASAP but I can't seem to get much down. I feel like I have to sip 24/7 to get in enough.

I went in for my 3 week check up this week...he said just try and get in as much as I could. No set amount.

Also, I was worried about Protein...smae thing - Don't worry about it. Drink milk when I can for Vitamins and

to get in some calories with it.

the protien drinks become very important in this regards - you get your protien and your Water...

everone is different with Water. I used to drink 4-6 oz everytime I went to the bathroom, therefore I got at least so much a day. I have curbed it to about 2 oz, and I keep the littel disposable kiddo cups now, else I would spend a bit of time in the bathroom.

I do set aside some time and focus in drinking, if I cannto "see" that I have got in at least 48 oz. of water. I feel my body just needs it too much.

Crystal light with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored makes good drinks, and you can dilute it to a really thin drink. I am having crystal light wild strawberry, 8 oz normally prepared, with about 6 oz of ice (which is only about 3 oz water). and a scoop of Unjury strawberry sorbet...gewd!

      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.
