Ow does everyone get all the Water in? I try and can't do it because I either forget or feel to full to drink. I managed to get 45oz today and that's a good day for me.

I try and keep a bottle with me when I can. I work in an office so I can always have something on my desk. I mix it up, Water, Vitamin water zero. I find I can drink the Vitamin water zero faster than plain water. I just feel so much better when I get in 64oz. plus. Forgetting you can work on, try a timer on your phone or watch. Good luck!

It's a struggle for me as well. I think there's only been 1 single day that I've made it to 64oz. I forget to sip - especially now that I am back to work. So, I'm renewing my efforts to hit that goal next week. Good luck!

I'm 3.5 years post op and getting Water in is still an issue for me. I have never drank a lot of fluids. After surgery plain water was impossible, made me nauseated. So now my water is mixed with crystal lite or the packets for Hawaiian punch.

I'm one month post op, and Im struggling for Water intake as well! Mine isn't the full feeling, it's the fact that Im so darn nauseous in the mornings from any liquid. Pre surgery I drank more fluids than most people I knew, but now...like you said 45 oz. is a good day. I am starting to be able to gulp a little with the water. Im hoping soon that will translate into more Fluid intake :/ Hope everyone can manage to stay hydrated.

Try this trick..8 oz every time you go to the bathroom. It adds up.

I'm having trouble too. About 1 week out and 48 oz is a struggle all day. Feel full all the time. It sucks! I hope it gets easier.

      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.
