Ok so I am 8 days post op and all I feel I am doing is drinking Water. I know we have to drink 64oz a day and I probably could do that but get too darn full so fast....I can only get one full water bottle in a day as of right now. And don't feel like eating because I'm full of water. Anybody going through the same thing?

Actually, I can do more than 64 oz of Water which kind of worries me. I am not really thirsty but do it because we are supposed to. My 1st follow up is Friday - I cannot wait.

Shoot, I can do about 40oz Water and then a Protein Shake and some SF Jello, and a few bites of creamy Soup a day. I cannot possibly eat/drink anything else. I was told to take on another Protein shake and I have NO CLUE how that is going to happen. And after the vitamins... holy cow!

I know it is tough, but I try to just keep drinking and then peeing. It seems to be really repetitive but that is the only way I could get it to work. After a couple days, it was a lot easier.

I literally am going through the same thing. All I've been drinking is Water and probably only a bottle a day. I just know my stomach can't tolerate anything other than that. My doc said that was common so soon after surgery since your stomach is still pretty swollen

Remember if you are taking in yogurt, pudding, Jello Soup those are all liquids too that can be counted toward your days goal... In the beginning you won't get it all in. In time it gets much better.

I am 4 weeks out and I still can't do 64 in. I had to go to ER and get IV fluids last week. It is just so hard. But, I am really starting to feel better. Keep your head up and stay positive.

      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?

      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.
