I am having a hard time finding a balance between working nights, sleep, and eating. On the days I work I can't get in all my Protein and Water. Any suggestions?

I think what I'm doing is not taking into consideration what I drink while at work because I'm drinking two bottles of water but I'm thinking I have to have 64 ounces in 24 hours and my hours are running into each other. The Protein drinks on the nights I work are a good ideal.

I work a day job Mon-Wed, and nights Thurs, Fri, & Sat. When I work nights, I drink one bottle on the way, one at break, one at lunch, and one on the way home. That's 68oz, so anything more is icing on the cake. I drink 1/2 G2 and 1/2 Water . For some reason, water hurts.

      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.
