For being 5 days PO, 46 ounces is great! I could barely do the minimum of 32oz at that point. Don't worry yourself too much, just drink what you can. Everyday you'll drink a bit more and soon you'll make your goal.

If you're on a liquid diet, remember that those ounces count toward your Fluid intake for the day.

You have to Constantly sip/ drink..Take your Water bottle with you everywhere. And I mean walking from kitchen to bedroom, living room to bathroom. Sounds funny? It's how I get 75 oz of just Water (not including Decaf coffee) I am never without my water. I have been doing this since surgery. First few days I sipped slowly, now 3 weeks post op I am able to drink and not sip, have been for awhile. As long as your urine is pale yellow you are hydrated. Keep trying because staying hydrated is so important. Oh...I even drink a little when I wake up middle of the night. Good luck!

Give it some time, try and push to get bigger sips everyday. You'll get there. People also eat SF popsicles...

I'm 5 days post op. I sip all day. Tiny sips. It's getting quite annoying too. I manage to get my 64 oz of Water in but I'm not sleeping well either. So when I'm waking up or having a hard time falling back to sleep I'm sipping and sometimes pacing. You will get there. I figured as long as I am doing the best I can then that has to be good enough.

Now that I've started Protein shakes it's getting harder to stay at the 64 oz mark. It takes me more than an hour to get a Protein shake down. So I'm going to have to be more diligent about my Water.

Same here. I try hard too. But I believe Protein shakes count towards liquid. I get sick of drinking. I incorporated sf popsicles

@"Alexis99", you are so right! I bring my bottle everywhere, even to the bathroom! I drink in the middle of the night too. It is like a full time job to keep sipping!

These Protein Shakes are really getting me down. They make my stomach feel yucky and keep me from drinking other liquids for quite awhile after I drink one. The powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein powder dissolved in some warm water goes down WAY easier.

I thought my Protein Shakes, broths ect counted as liquid too. My NUT told me that anything that has Protein in it is no longer counted as liquid.

Yeah, kinda sucked to find that out because I found this protein Water that had 30 grams (I think) of protein in it per bottle and was like I got this all figured out lol

      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.
