Sip sip sip! You have to meet that Fluid requirement. Day 5 post op, I ended up with a 4 day hospital stay because of it. I am still feeling the effects of the dehydration

I'm scared I can drink too much liquid!!! Im not hungry, but I don't feel any restriction on my liquid that I can tell. Sleeved 8/31 and I can drink premier Protein shake with no problems of thickness.

The doc gave me specific thin shakes for the first 3 days. I think I would be so nervous except I had a hernia fixed right at the opening of my stomach.

I also had a hiatal hernia repair with my surgery and it didn't complicate my recovery. I don't think you can drink too much liquid, just too much too fast. Your stomach is swollen so you will feel restriction in the sense that a small sip was enough. Then you have another one. As the swelling goes down, it gets much easier. I may be in the minority, but at 2.5 mths out, I feel a sense of fullness with liquids (16 oz.) and especially Protein Shakes.

I want cheese puffs! I have passed them up at the grocery store 3 times now and daily in the work vending machine! I've never found myself "wanting " cheese puffs. Lol. I've bought them on rare occasions to pack in the kids lunch. I think it's because in my head, they are soft and I think I could tolerate them at this point. So now I'm dwelling on them, as I would love a salty treat!

Blu2020, I am three weeks post-op and I had exactly the same concerns the first few days after surgery! But it definitely gets easier. Just keep sipping. I think I was anxious because I could not drink as quickly as I used to, and I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere. So, I started pouring my fluids from my big cup into a 2 oz. shot glass, and then I started feeling more relaxed about it because I could see progress every time I would finish sipping a shot.

I also found that if I took a nice deep breath in between every few sips (especially when drinking shakes), that really helped.

You will see: it will get much easier to drink in the coming days and weeks. Good luck!

I feel the same way. I feel like some of those other people that ask "did he really remove 80% of my stomach?" .... In al seriousness, I know he did, but it's crazy that I can sip the Premier Protein's and have been eating the Soups for meals, which technically isn't until Tuesday. I just couldn't stomach the clear broths and all fluids any more. I hope I don't mess anything up but I'm not uncomfortable and just sipping everything slowly.

      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.
