Everything else was making me gag! I couldn't stand any more yogurt or Protein Shakes. I had to have something different, besides Soup. Ugh. But yeah I can go to "soft" diet Monday so I figured a scrambled egg wouldn't hurt me this close to that time. And soft foods include fish and chicken and Pasta (chewed very well)...so I rlly don't think an egg will do any damage.

I drink more than an ounce of liquid (water/tea) in 20 minutes and was sleeved 3/18. Now you have me worried I'm doing it wrong.

I was sleeved 3/20 and can drink one to two oz of liquid in 20 mins

Missmeow me too! I can drink a fair amount at one time. Maybe an ounce and a half or 2 ounces every 10 or 15 mins. I don't do that ALL day. But I can drink a few swallows with no pain or any negative feelings. Should I not do it even though im having no problems?

Mine says frim my nut. I should be drinking 60-120 ccs per hour. 1/4 to 1/2 cup approximately.

50-60 grams Protein 48-64 Fluid oz daily.

Starting 2-3 days post op and lasting for 10-14 days of course each surgeon os different buy this is what is recommended by my surgeon and nut.

I guess I need to measure/track better because it seems I can drink a bit faster than that. That could just be in my mind. I kind of lose interest when drinking my Protein Drinks. I have not had any pain except at first at the hernia site and later when I forgot and drank a normal drink (not a gulp). It was fleeting but i Didn't do that again. Otherwise I kind of feel it slide right through?

My surgeon did not give any rules just said to drink slow and get fluids in.

My nut has 80g Protein and 64oz combined fluids. I haven't quite gotten to the protein goal yet.

Missmeow im exactly the same way. Not meeting Protein goals yet. I know I will when I can actually eat some meat. The sweetness is killing me right now (the shakes)

      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.
