Can't say I've heard that one. I was just told to take in 64 ounces of fluid/water a day.

I have never heard that. But you should not have carbonated or sparkling Water. Tap or spring water are fine too.

You should not have carbonated or sparkling Water that is equivalent to soda. The bubbles/gas are not good for your stomach. Any water that is carbonation free is good.

So I'm craving a diet mountain dew. What if I bought a single serve, poured half into a glass, put the lid back on the other half and shook it til it's flat. No carbonation, shouldn't be an issue, right?

My nut said the only way to have a soda after surgery is to pour it into a glass, stir until there are no more bubbles, then leave it alone overnight. Too much hassle in my mind. I have only had Soda in the last 6 months, I don't miss it like I thought I would.

      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.
