Water is good for your mental health too. If you drink a gallon of water per day, you wont have time for other people's drama because you'll be too busy peeing. Stay hydrated my friends. lol :)🤣

Drinking Water is necessary and important, but such an amount can even harm the body.

Most surgical centers recommend a gallon of Water a day; it's not nearly enough to cause someone "harm".

A gallon is nearly four litres that is a lot of Water unless exercising intensively and/or living in a fairly hot climate.

From what I have seen in these forums for USA 64 ounces of fluids a day seem to be more the norm. 64 ounces is nearly two litres. Australia recommendation is generally two litres.

Apparently an adult with healthy kidneys can consume 20-28 liters of Water before they enter the danger zone, anywhere from 5-6 times the number you claim is "dangerous".

I didn't say anything was dangerous, I said its a lot, and I said I haven't seen anywhere on here aside from yourself who has ever said that bariatric surgeons recommend up to nearly four litres a day.

But please point me in the direction of anyone who has ever said they regularly drink 28 litres of fluids a day.

I never claimed anyone DOES drink that much, only that the four or so that you said was too much is perfectly safe. I apologize I didn't realize that you and the person upthread who said it was harmful are not the same person; maybe they'll see this too. Drink the amount you're comfortable with and so will I.

      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.
