I get at least 50, which is the minimum required by my bariatric team. Initially, it was very hard, but it does get easier.

I'm aiming at 64 but usually cannot get over 40 yet. Definite struggle for sure. Sleeved 1/6.

I was sleeved 1/31 and haven't gotten over 30 oz. My nut reccommends 64oz but they at least want you to get 32oz. So im hoping it gets better day by day

I was sleeved 1/10/2014 and I STILL am not getting but about 32 and only about 12 to 16 oz are Water, which according to Dr. Oz, all liquids count and even liquids in food contains Water so I'm really not stressing over the total amount. Not saying anyone else should use this philosophy but I do. With that said, I'm still working on increasing my total liquid intake without increasing calories and carbs.

I had my surgery 1/7. My Dr. said 64ozs. I am getting in about 32-40. I used to have no problem drinking Water....all day long. Now it's difficult. I don't like any of the sugar free drinks or crystal lights so I just "suck it up" and drink it plain. I have better luck getting in the Protein than the Water.

I have the same problem. I usually get 40-50 a day but so sometimes can get more. A lot of nights I drink a huge cup of hot Decaf peppermint tea. It seems to go down more easily than cold beverages for some reason.

      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.
