What happens if you do not drink enough Water? or the 64ozs required? I feel like I am drinking all day long. I'm still in the sipping stage.....:speechless:

Your band turns to dust. ;o)

Just do the best you can. Try your very best to get it all in, it gets easier.

Constipation can be a problem for many and the Water greatly aids that. It also helps to wash out the fat that you're loosing. Try your best to drink, drink, and drink.

If I don't get my fluids in (I don't say Water, because I do a lot of SF Decaf iced tea) my weight loss stalls....good enough reason to keep me drinking!!!

Keep sipping away, it will become habit, and get easier!

Went for my 1 week post-op visit today and we discussed Water in group. That is exactly what everyone said...your weight loss will stall. Good information to know....I will keep on sipping.......Does anyone else have a support group with their doctor or surgery center? Mine is sooo great. We all joined the local College exercise program and was able to register under the special rate of $50.00 a semester and we all go after group on Wednesdays and several other times a week. We also do many other activities together including our doctor. He has been very supportive and active in all of his patients. I truly believe that is what is going to make a difference in being successful. :)

      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.
