I think you have you're answer as far as how slow you start on fluids ( 2oz in 15 minutes) and I did not have to cough but I did have to walk down the hallway quite a bit as well as urinate. I am not sure if you had a hospital stay but I had to be at the hospital at 10 and by 1230 I was being wheeled down the hallway to surgery, at 1630 I was in X-ray getting my swallow test and I was discharged from the hospital by 1730. I will say that I did appreciate this faster method that way I didn't have to wait 24 hours before actually drinking something.

Thank you. Yeah I had to stay over & stay without fluids for 24 hours but I got through that. Day 4 can I have more quantity of Fluid at a time ? How long will it be only 2oz at a time ?

      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.
