How?! I know I don't get enough :( everything I drink hurts my pouch.. I sip and try everything I can think of and it just makes my tummy sore for like 5 minutes. I'm constantly thirsty and I just cannot figure this out. Regular ice tea was pretty good for me but when I got Decaf and used sweet and low, it hurts !! It's frustrating me to tears :( I don't want to go to the ER for dehydration but I don't want to sip and have a stomach ache for 5 mins and repeat. :(

What about warm liquids like tea or broth? Or sf ice pops?

I have had some Decaf coffee with sugar free Creamer and sweet and low, and it went better, but it still hurt a little. I haven't tried ice pops or other warmer liquids.

Are you sure it isn't the Sweet n Low you are using? the artificial sweeteners just about kill me and give me horrible heartburn. You might try Stevia or something more natural. Otherwise....call your Nut or nurse. they are there to help!

I was curious about that, I think I will try something else and see if that helps, if not I will definitely be calling.

      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.
