How long did everyone use their little one ounce cups for, how did you do the transition to "big girl cups" and how did you handle going out like shopping where maybe its harder to get your Water. Right now I am supposed to be drinking 1 ounce every 10 minutes does that change when I go on to the mushy foods part of the diet??

I actually dont know what ur referring to with the 1 oz cups for drinking. Ive always had a water bottle and drank what i could. Maybe its something ur team gives to help u drink slowly postop, but get in all ur water ounces. But so u know, u can have a water bottle and take the drinking slowly with that if u want to, especially if ur going out.

I did it for the first few weeks. I lined up 5 little one ounce cups and did laps around the house, downing an ounce with each lap. Refilled and kept going. It was the only way I could get up to 24-32 oz in the beginning. Especially those first 8 days without Protein Shakes.

Yes this is exactly what I am doing I tried a bottle of Water yesterday as I had a huge amount of errands to run and I was so worried that I was drinking too much or too little just all consumed by water intake

      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.
