It is so hard to drink slowly. I'm wondering how everyone else is fairing with this? How long do we have to drink slowly?

I am two months out and while I cannot chug anything, I do not drink as slow as I had to when I first started. I cannot drink a Protein Shake quickly because they are filling, but I can drink 8 oz of Water in a fairly short amount of time.

at my 2 week post op appt I asked my surgeon the same thing, he told me let your body be the guide. I felt much better when I could drink a little faster w/out discomfort. good luck.

at an early point, i was able to drink Water quickly no problem

per my NUT, i could start gulping my H20 - as soon as i felt i was ok

we're all different though, remember ;)

      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.
