Since getting home from the hospital, almost eight weeks, I have used a 12 oz wide mouth sports type bottle. It is short and not so overwhelming. I would just sip from it all day and keep refilling it as needed.

I have a 16 oz water bottle and I sip on it all day and keep refilling as need. I am 14 days post op. It is the same way I do the Protein.< /p>

Its funny how smaller Water bottles go so much easier for me... for example I have a big 48oz one that I can barely get through half of in a day but if I carry my small 16oz bottle I refill it at least 2x a day without even thinking about it... I know it's a weird mental thing but it makes hitting the goal seem much more obtainable

I used the cups for 2 weeks after getting out for of hospital while I was still on just Protein Shakes. Now I have a 20 ounce Water bottle. I make sure I drink 1 before lunch, one before dinner and one after dinner. That way I know if I have fallen short or if I am doing good. Its easier for me to keep track. As for food, drinks, etc. I measure everything specifically. Hope this helps.

I still use them occasionaly after 3.5 weeks. For some reason it's easier for me to finish my liquids if I have them out in the little cups. I think I get overwhelmed with more than 12oz containers. I sure do miss chugging back 8oz in 5mins!

      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.
