Are you getting enough fluids in each day?If you are...how about.....where you live is it really hot and so the A/C is constantly running? A/Cs take humidity out of the air so that could be part of it as well.

It could be as simple as not having enough fluids, do you use a cpap/bipap? I do and even with the humidity set top notch I still have a horrible sore throat/dry nose. Maybe try sipping some skim milk as it will help coat with thin mucous? Good luck!!

I'm not getting the required amount of 64, but I'm getting fluids. I've been through the dehydration route and I don't want to go back there. :(

I don't get 64 ounces in but, my nutritionist says the fluids in my shakes, milk, popsicles etc all counts. I probably get about 50 in each day....for me its one of the hardest parts to do.

Well I had the same problem but my doctor told me that is nothing to worry that is from the air tube down our throat during surgery. You will get better I'm one month out and don't get that dry throat feeling any more

      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.
