At first I had to take baby sips, and I cannot drink just plain Water = yuck so I add crystal light or something to my water to flavor it as long as it is no calories or surgar. I am 7 months post op and can take bigger gulps now. If I go too big of a gulp my pouch does tell me that that was too big - lol. All the gurgling and noises go away after a while... at least mine did.

I had the problem with Water too. The thing I found that helped was ice chips or slushies (sugar free of course) I bought them from 7-11 and from a local small place that sold sugar free ones. Also if I froze my water bottles and drank the water very veyr cold I did not have the same reaction. Doctor said it had something to do with now being more sensitive the chemicals in the water (even bottled water) and so the taste of it changes when it is cold I guess. Anyway it did not last forever and now I can drink water cold or room temperature (but do still filter it as I notice the off taste more) and I can drink it in gulps and do not need to sip sip sip anymore. Thank goodness!! Sure makes geting in my liquids much much easier. Although lately my chocolate Protein Shakes make me queasy, but I still drink them every morning, can not afford to give those up. LOL

      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.
