I struggle too! Go to bed feeling so thirsty, but cannot fit another drop in- hectic work day everyday- I forget and fall behind quickly. I am so going to do this starting Monday- great idea!

That's a good idea!!! Funny thing is I know what I'm supposed to do but some days the liquids just won't go down. It's like being so thirsty but you just can't swallow. I hate that feeling.

Do the Protein Shakes count towards the liquid intake. Or is it just Water?

Protein shakes do count as liquids. All fluids count - and so does sugar free jello! Except, you have to be careful with caffeinated fluids, because they do not hydrate you well.

      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.
