I have been drinking vodka lately. With crystal light. So the only calories are from the vodka. How are others with liquor does this make u gain weight ??

Seriously? Any calories add up. Liquor is a no no. Really high probability of transfer addiction with no nutritional value.

I am almost 4wks post op' date=' and I have the same problem with fluids. I have to drink Water when its ice cold and with a squeeze of lemon/lime. I can also tolerate hot tea...anything luke warm does not sit well with me at all.[/quote']

Funny how we can all be so different. I prefer lukewarm-to-warm liquids over cold. You know when you leave your water bottle in the car on a summer day and it gets really, really warm? Yup! THAT'S how I like it! Lol

It is funny the colder the better for me. I also used a shot glass for the first month and still a smaller size cups and glasses. Just seem to get more fluids in that way.

I know, it's weird. It used to gross me out. But I can drink more if it's warm and for some reason it tastes better to me.

      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.
