My doctor told me to take one or two sips every 15 minutes. Right after surgery it will be impossible to get all the fluids you need...just do your best. It gets easier over time.

I found Fruit20 at Sam's Club. Great tasting. No calories. No carbonation. No sugar. Gives a break from plain 'ol Water. Try some Crystal Light powders in your bottled water. I especially like the Peach flavoring. Hope you continue to get better, and you will. Stay focused.

Before surgery, I used to drink 3-4 liters of water/day and I hated crystal light and that drink garbage.

Now, 2.5 weeks post op, I find it hard to drink plain Water. I can only sip it. When something has flavor, I can gulp it. I'm changing my tune about crystal light!

you need to constantly be sipping Water not just every 15 minutes. I am 5 days post op and each day it gets easier to sip. Breakfast this morning is diluted, unsweetened apple juice yum! I am on clears until tuesday so will be haiving chicken broth, Jello and the like. Keep sipping!!!

I had mine done at Lehigh Valley Hospital. I am not in a lot of pain to be honest when I was discharged I went to the mall to walk best thing I ever did for the gas pain. One piece of advice I found useful once out of surgery don't go for narcotic pain killers they increase nausea I opted for Toradol and it worked miracles.

      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.
