64 oz of fluids



Recommended Posts

How far post op are you? It is difficult to get that amount in at first, but it is doable. You just have to constantly sip all day.

I had a really hard time at first too and I didn't nearly get even 12oz down it would feel like a lump in my throat every time I would take a sip I'm only 12 days post op now and am now able to get all my liquid in most of the time and able to take a normal drink it'll get easier every day

I’m almost 3 days post op. I’m having problems too. I made
popsicles while on pre-op diet out of my Protein Water but they are only 4 oz a piece and I only could get two down yesterday.

It gets easier! I've found that if I add something to my Water (crystal light, etc) I can drink it much easier. This was a weird development for me because I've always liked water & been a big water drinker. But hey....whatever works!

      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.
