To be honest everyone is different. I started with those 1 oz medicine cups they gave you at the hospital. I drank out of those for probably a week drinking one of those cups half at a time. I would sip half the shot cup and then waited a min and drank the rest. I am able to drink quite a bit at one time but there are others that can't drink as much as me at one time so you just have to sip a little more a little more at a time to see how much is too much. Don't push it of course cause you don't want to make yourself sick. Start with the shot glass/medicine cup and drink half at a time waiting a min or so before you drink the other half and then when you feel like you are ready or you want to try, drink the whole shot glass at one time. I got over those quick and I was thirsty all the time so I started using a small kids cup and would just sip it and them eventually was drininking it. Just listen to your body and take your time. I haven't really been afraid to try things to see what would happen cause that's what you are going to have to do eventually to see how you react to things and I have been lucky with it thank god. Hope this helps. Again baby steps, listen to your body but don't be afraid to try. Good luck and you can ask me anything anytime. :)

Thanks for sharing. I think we all get in similar mindset of is it worth it, will it get better, will I have more energy ect. Thank you for reminding us that it does get better and better and better.

You are very welcome. I want to remember how I felt and do feel and make sure to come on here and let others know it's normal to feel certain ways and just because some people won't admit things, bad or not, others do have the same feelings as you and it's ok. I will always be honest about how I feel no matte who agrees.There has to be at least 1 person out there that feels the same way I do so I am not alone. :D

      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.
