I'm five weeks post op and it's still hard for me to get all my Water in. It is very important to get it, so sip all day long carry a water bottle everywhere you go. You don't want to end up dehydrated and in the hospital.

Good luck

If you can't drink because you're scared, well, get over it! :wub: liquids generally don't hurt; they go right on through. Unless you are super swollen or overfilled liquids are slider to the max! :blink:

If you can't drink because it hurts and threatens to come back up, and you still feel that way tomorrow, call your surgeon. Some poor souls are filled during surgery and really have a devil of a time; if you are in that category you may need to have fill removed so you can heal properly.

Good luck!

      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.
