I just got home from the hospital in Thursday, and so far, im doing amazingly well. I have no drainage from my incisions and I don't have any signs of high blood sugar either!! So blessed. :0)

But im afraid im not getting enough liquids in everyday ..

I have eaten 4 oz cup of beef broth overall today. 1/2 glass of Isopure. Sipping Water. Ate 2 -3 popcicles. Im so scared, I m not doing great on my hydration.

I too have a problem getting in all my liquids. All you can do is sip sip sip all day. But it's tough at times. Don't worry we will get there! :)

Creamy soups were like heaven to me! After awhile you get tired of all the sweet shakes and want salty. That first bite of cream of mushroom Soup was AMAZING!!!

I'm having a heck of a time,too. If I can get down a 16 oz bottle of Water, half of another one, a s.f. Jello and a popsicle, I've done good. I am having trouble with the shakes. It seems either the shakes or the water. What's more important.

Also, I forgot to get some info on this. Someone had posted that we weren't supposed to drink 30 minutes before we eat. I knew that were no supposed to during or 30 minutes after, but I hadn't heard the 30 before,...anyone? Anyone know how to make a decent hot chocolate from the Protein Drinks. Any help is appreciated

They gave me a book with my surgery kit and it says in there not to drink 30 min before or after. As for hot chocolate if you have a glass blender, heat the Water to desired temp and then pour the chocolate powder and hot Water in and blend.

Thanks! I was hoping there was something I could do to make it not quite so gross.

I was also told to stop drinking 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after. It's strange how we're all told different things to do with every part of this surgery lol. My first two week diet was nothing but hot Cereal, strained cream Soup and fat free cottage cheese. It's not until my 2-4 week period of a puréed diet that they told me to stop drinking 30 mins before

30 minutes before and after you eat, but I will admit I've never done this!

I was told only with meals and then wait for 39 minutes after a meal.

It is funny how we were all told something different! I was told not to drink 30 mins before and wait an hour after to drink.

      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?

      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.
