If you can sip down 1 cup of Water in about 20 min without any issues at all, then I would say all is good. Just follow your recommended daily Fluid requirements. My surgeon recommended 65-80 ounces per day.

Sounds great. Where I found things started to change for me was when I started to eat more dense foods. I'm still able to get my fluids in, but sometimes I stay so full, I don't want to! So glad things are going smoothly.

Thanks for your replies... my concern is I never seem to get that full feeling or even discomfort to tell me u drank to much Water or broth[emoji23]... it sounds funny but scary since I had RNY to limit food... hoping my new pouch will tell me a bit better when I get to pureed stage...

Hi i am also 7 days postop and at the first days i felt that full feeling. But i learn to sip small bits of Water or Protein. Maybe it does take me more time but i dont feel any discomfort at all either.

I would stick to 4 oz per hour, even if you can do 1 cup every 20 min, you don't want to get use to that Water intake and make your pouch bigger..

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
