I think the same Inner Surfer Girl. Years ago I was told by one of many of my weight loss coach's, that the reason you need to drink 64oz of Water at the least that your fat is like ash when you are losing weight and the Water is what flushes it out. So I always have been a huge water drinker until I had my RNY and due to the smallness of our pouch I have a really hard time drinking enough water. It is so much better now that I am 3 years out. I can swig it like a champ. LOL

What most people don't understand is that fat cells don't actually GO anywhere. They shrink and swell, they're just storage containers.

I knew that PorkChopExpress, from my many days of different diets. I had a DR tell me that if you make fat cells they never go away. You can fluff em back up totally easy to do!! LOL

My theory is that it turns into gas. I swear, I'm 1000 times more flatulent than before surgery.

Is it just me? It's embarrassing because I rarely had gas before, but now it's ridiculous. I wake up and feel like I'm depressurizing.

      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.
