Cant Drink Enough! Help

Ice and ice Water was my saving grace. I did start with lots of bullion cube meals, chicken & beef, but it gets old fast. I began using my food processor to make shaved ice, and that filled a great need for liquids. I picked up regular and SF syrups at Smart-n-Final, and that made for a treat. Especially in the sweltering Valley summer. Yeah for shaved ice!!!

Best of luck with your 9/5 surgery. Golden information waiting here for you. Two words: Shaved Ice. It's a life saver after surgery. Helps with liquid intake, and it's crunchy like eating food. Looking forward to your posts...

Awesome, Ray. Yes, I am soaking up some sage advice already and plan to have my NINJA whirling away when I get home. I just googled the Quest bars that some one suggested and found a distributor near my house. I am all set with flavored & unflavored Protein powders, crystal light, propel, add infinitum, etc! LOL. Just 2-days and a wake-up call and I'm there! It's taken a year to get this far, but I feel really prepared and informed so it was worth it! I'm in So. Cal. Thanks for yor reply, Diane.

      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.
