Nope, not at all. Now my goal today was like 800 and as I suspected I didn't make it.

I'm 5 days post op and it's very hard to get my liquids in...my Husband is concerned that I'm getting dehydrated and I probably am but it hurts to drink in bigger portions...I'm sorta scared that I'm doing something wrong...I know each day will get better as I heal but I honestly didn't know it was going to be this hard

The first week I was working all day just trying to make my Fluid goals and get a little Protein in. Just keep at it, sip sip sip all day. Fluid is most important, Protein is 2nd important, and calories don't really matter for the first couple of weeks according to my surgeon.

      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.
