You should call your surgeon. You do not want to get dehyrdated. It is not fun. Your body needs that Protein and hydration to heal a large wound (your stomach). Good luck to you.

let your surgeon's office know how you are feeling! dehydration is not a good thing. I could not drink the required 64oz but I was able to get 32oz in plus the Protein Drinks (16oz) SF pops, 2oz yogurt or Jello or pudding. Really hope you feel better...

I was the same way. I could drink about 1/2 of a Water bottle a day. I did not have any Protein or Vitamins for the first 3 weeks. Doctor said to keep trying the Protein powders. Nobody wanted to believe that the smell of that stuff made me want to vomit. Greek yogurt does too.

So for all those weeks I felt like a big pile of crap. Then suddenly at 4 weeks when I was able to eat regular food it all got better like overnight. It will get better!

I'm 4 weeks out, trying pureed foods, always make me nauseated. having a very hard time getting my Water in. cant quite figure out the schedule I should be on. When to take my pills, when to take my Protein, when to drink...I don't like how my stomach feels. Cant wait until this stage is over.

      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.
