My finger tips are now hydration meters...

Weird weird weirdness

My fingertips now go wrinkly if I'm not hydrated enough. Handy meter to keep an eye on it, but so weird. Anyone else getting wrinkly fingers?

Very interesting. I have not had a problem getting fluids in. And my pee is really clear so i am super happy about that. I was worried pre surgery that hydration would be a real problem and I would be one of those that had to go back to hospital and get iv fluids, but so far I really have been able to drink a lot. Here's to hoping everyone's fingers plump up

I have issues getting my fluids. I just want to skull them back, because it's been damn hot here, but I can't. Instead i go jump in the local pool. Doesn't help with the wrinkles, but cools me down and treading Water is doing wonders for my calves.

At least my fingers are a good reminder to go sip on something. I'm also making snow from crystal lite ice cubes shoved in the blender. It's like a sorbet.

      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.
