How much Water are you getting in? Are you having any pain or discomfort in your lower back or do you feel like you have to go all the time and then it is just a trickle?

I drank a bottle of Lifewater (20 oz), an 8 oz bottle of Water, chicken broth (cup) and then a large bottle of Isopure, I have good urine flow.

Any smell with the urine? It is usually a sign of dehydration ( need more fluid). An infection is an outside possibility, but needing more Fluid is the likely culprit. Sip, sip, sip

That sounds like about 56oz. You should shoot for at least 64 a day. A lot of us don't make that every day, but if you don't get at least that much most days it will cause you problems eventually. If you start having pain or you see any evidence of blood or you have trouble going, make sure you let your doctor know. Congratulations on being sleeved!

I am also 5 days post op am dealing with the same issue! However, your Fluid intake is WAY better than mine. I'm struggling to get in any. My goal today is to mentally focus in this and get it done.

Is watered down Gatorade okay? I've heard if the pedi pops from someone else the other day, but haven't been able to find them anywhere...

You can Find pedi pops at drugstores better then a super market, also LADIES try popsicles and sorbert :).

Good to know! I'll have to get over to CVS or Rite Aid... Sf Popsicles are my everything right now. It's funny because I actually had two the other day, and when I was opening my second one I couldn't help but to feel like a "little piggy"! Ha! Then I had to remind myself that they are pretty much calorie free and I need them at this point... ;) I didn't think about eating sorbet! That's a great idea...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
