Are you drinking cold Water? I found the first few days it had to be cool to room temp or I would have horrible cramps/spasms.

Heyher's tummy likes cold, mine likes really warm weak green tea. Just experiment with different drinks and different temps. Hang in there... It truly gets better quickly!

Welcome and congrats on your surgery. I know this is the tough time buy I promise it gets better each day... and it is worth it! I was sleeved on FEb 6th this year and as of tday have lost 30lbs. I feel great, work out, and follow EVERYTHING my surgeon says. I will ay that liquid seems to be the hardest things to get down for me personally. It feel "hard" to get down. In addition ... anyhting but Water (i.e Crystal light/ gatoraide/etc) seems to taste sooooo sweet it is unbearable. I learned to stay away from the tea as it dehdrates ..even if it says Decaf. Everone is different but this was my experience. See if you can get a go for a G2 to keep you hydrated during this time ( this is key !!! you do not want to get dehydrated!!!) It worked for me! I wish you the best and hope you have a great success with this great tool!

      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.
