liquid is more important than Protein this first week. If protein keeps you from drinking Fluid, then minimize the protein. Watering down protein might make it go down easier too.

Carry a cup or bottle with you constantly. Take a sip every 5 minutes. Try different temps and flavors.

If you drink less than 40oz a day, contact your team. You may be getting dehydrated.

Congrats, and good luck!

We are all so different! Milk felt so thick around 8 days postop, could barely drink any.. it just filled me up and kept me full.

Isopure ready-made is a clear Protein, and somewhat tart - I started putting it half and half with some crystal light raspberry lemonade flavored water. I was having the same issue when drinking Premier Protein shakes - they just filled me up and I didn't have room for liquids.

Also sf popsicles and sf italian ice.

      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.
