I couldn't drink cold Water at all the first 10 days or so. It had to be room temp and with some sort of flavoring, either Crystal Light or Ocean Spray.

Are you drinking it cold?

I am the opposite. I can get water in faster than crystal light. I also tried adding the unflavored injury Protein to crystal lite and I couldn't drink that, yuck! So I am getting no Protein and only about half of my water in so far. I am six days out. I see my dr Wednesday hopefully I will be able to start the chocolate flavored shakes.

Maybe when adding crystal lite just add a little nor the whole package because sometimes it is to sweet.

I agree with lil lee. Or maybe try Crystal lite PURE, or a few drops of Mio or other flavored Water Enhancer. What about G2, either alone or mixed with Water?

I will be 5 weeks post op on Wednesday, and I still cannot tolerate plain Water. I mix Propel Zero with my water.

      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.
