64 oz of water???? scheduled eating times?



Recommended Posts

Can someone please tell me how they can get 64 oz of Water a day? When and how do you do that? I take a few sips and then I feel full or I feel it start to come up....what about using a straw? Or a water bottle and sip it? doesn't that cause air in the stomach??

Desperate to get 64 oz of water a day in....so far I'm lucky if I get 12 oz....Advice please!!

Eating times? Does anyone have scheduled eating and drinking times....anything? Please help!!

Once the swelling goes down you should be able to drink a lot more then you do right now.

Then comes the hunger and drinking will help (they say it helps, I've never been convinced) with the hunger.

I have a desk job and drink about 80oz a day.

I had trouble getting all my Water down for the first couple weeks after surgery. Once you start exercising it gets easier because you get more thirst. Hang in there, it will happen.

      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.
