Ok, today I tried the P3 (protein) snack pack & I finally found something that is easy for me to eat. Part of problem of me eating was choosing food that doesn't hurt to eat. Thanks for whoever mentioned these Snacks...it's like a lunch meal for me

Blizair09 how long do you wait between eating and drinking? By the time i realized i need to drink several hours have passed. And by the end of the day I've eaten like twice. Also how early do you start getting everything in?

I've timed my meals to coincide with my Vitamin schedule:

7:15 - Breakfast and Vitamin #1

8:15 - Start drinking (not really waiting an hour after breakfast, this is just when I get settled in at work)

9:30 - snack #1 and Calcium chew #1

12:00 - Stop drinking

12:30 - lunch and vitamin #2

1:20 - Start drinking

2:30 - Snack #2 and calcium chew #2

5:00 - Stop drinking

5:30 (ish) - dinner and calcium chew #3

0 minutes after dinner - Start drinking

Bedtime - vitamin #3

I went back and added in my drinking schedule. Between 8:15 and 12:00, I generally drink 48-72 oz. Between 1:20 and 5:00, I drink another 48-72 oz.

I don't have any problems at all getting liquids in, in fact I drink 100+ oz. a day; I actually stop mid-evening so I don't have to get up and pee during the night.

@@Torriluv87, I keep a "consumption record" each day where I record when I eat and drink to keep up with everything. I usually start between 8:00 and 9:00 in the morning, and finish around 9:00 at night. It is an all-day affair.

      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.
