My doc says to drink 8oz of Fluid per hour. I don't feel like I can do that. So I don't quite meet the 64oz daily. Now today I'm weak and dizzy. I see my doctor today. What do you guts think?

I think that you are dehydrated and need to work on getting your Fluid intake in as much as possible. Ask your Dr. for an IV to help get you hydrated. This is definitely hard to get in our fluid intake due to the stomach being so swollen....Glad you have an appt today......It will help.... :)

:( you are struggling.......but dehydration is extremely dangerous, it thickens your blood, could cause kidney problems, or a stroke. So I try to be extra careful when it comes to dehydration.... However it is really hard to get in that much of Water in an hour......so get in as much as you can. You can do this.... :)

      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.
