Why reduce Fluid intake??

I had my Tummy Tuck and breast lift 8months post VSG. I kept taking my regular Vitamins as well added Bromelain, and Vitamin C. My surgeon actually felt I healed quicker then other patients. She did have me reduce Fluid intake for the first 2 weeks post surgery. I am very pleased with my results.

I did bromelain, arnica and turmeric for healing and inflammation. I think it helped! Got them all at Vitamin Shoppe.< /p>

Had my pre op visit today the dr. Was adamant I get the lift now.. He hadn't seen me since the first visit in September and I've lost more weight in the boobs of course, I decided on silicone high profile 500 cc, so nervous about the lift and scars, since I already have so many with the sleeve and gall bladder taken out.. Ugh have to make up my mind by tomorrow ????????????

Went for post op check today. Things look good. Dr left drains in. He said when I only get 30ml out of them per day he will take them out.

      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.
