I can drink normal now. Every once in awhile I feel like I get air in with the Water which doesn't feel good. Sometimes makes the water come back up. For the most part though I'm good with drinking, sipping, gulping ( just not as fast as before). Hot water, cold water, icy water, anything now. :) I never thought I would see this day again, but it happens!

Hello, plenty of fluids is important. For me I was very cautious of how much I was drinking. So of course I started with sips as everyone was saying. Then as the days pass, you get the feel of how much Fluid you can take at one time. What works for me is I take in a mouth full of whatever liquid and slowly swallow, that's my gulping now. It's hard because I used to be a gulper as well. Although the liquids should pass through fairly quickly.

How about sugar free ice pops? They saved me after my surgery. Water tasted gross to me after the surgery, but it passed and tastes fine now. I'm almost 5 months out.

I had sugar free ice cream. I believe it was made by dryers, the slow churned kind. That was pretty good.

      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.
