You must concentrate on liquids right now so you do not end up dehydrated. Most everyone has been in your shoes so do not feel alone!

It's very, very important that you stay hydrated during this period. Many people find cold Water doesn't work so they drink room temperature water. Also other warm drinks like tea and decaffinated tea can be very comforting. Whatever you drink, at this stage, just sip. Seriously. Really small sips. If you can sip an once every 15 minutes, you can build up from there. Your hunger is more likely to be thirst. This is a good way to find out. You say you're in the bathroom every hour. Make sure you stick to the liquids appropriate for your stage. Also a PPI (prescribed or OTC) can make a huge difference. I have to take mine twice a day. Ok. Let's see if you can start to feel better.

      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.
