The only thing that is working for me is milk of magnesia but I HATE taking it. blech. I need to find something else.

The thing is I love water, I put a bit of lemon in it, I just can't seem to drink enough. how do you sip all day long and get as much water as they say? I just don't get it.

I could be better but could be worse. My 1st week was seriously ROUGH, it was not easy for me at all.

I'm actually drinking the apple isopure drink right now, though I don't love them, they are not refreshing somehow and all I want is refreshing drinks.

I miss cereal so much, especially Raisin Nut Flakes, but I know that there is no way I could handle it yet. I worry to have it though because it was a problem food for me. I might have to, in the future, have my husband hide it from me and allow me a small amount once and a while.

I use a small bubba, 12 oz, that I have with me at all times. I needed something that keeps it really cold and this works.

I'm on my 4th week post-op and I'm definitely having a hard time getting in the Protein and the Water. With the protein, I think it's that I just simply can't stomach the idea of doing shakes, I'm not sure why. They don't taste bad, it just makes me sick to think of doing them. Today I'm doing the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup which is fine. I try to put unflavored in my food sometimes but there is only so much I can put in when I'm only eating an ounce or 2 of food. Sigh. With water. I don't know how to get in enough water, and believe me i WANT more water, when I have to sip it all day. Also when it takes me forever to eat then I have to wait a 1/2 hour to drink and then if i forget to drink water then I get hungry and i can't seem to get in more than 12 oz of water a day. I mean i do popsicles too but I feel thirsty. Any suggestions?

I had a really hard time getting much down for a few days and did mostly popsicles, they saved me. I can't do water so I do isopure zero. Ooh and I was 9/14. Ooh and I was 9/14.

The only protein powders I can stand are from Unjury and lately I'm only using classic chocolate and unflavored.

I feel like I have hunger pains too, it's strange. I mean I know I can't eat anything other than on my list, physically. I don't know if it's something that just feels like that.

I was, the 14th, there were a few REALLY rough days including a head cold but day 7 i feel much better.

@@Shotochick ooooh you are from England? I'm SUCH an anglophile, I watch so many British shows.

@@longjohs I'm Monday too!

We have the same surgery date. How are you doing on your pre op diet? I don't start mine until Saturday, which I know is vastly different than most people. Otherwise I'm doing ok, lost 11 lbs so far in this journey.

Does Cambridge count? I'm going to Mount Auburn Cemetery on 9/14.

why are you having trouble taking your daily pills?

I'm also 9/14. All of a sudden the days are flying by and it will be here before we know it I'm so freaked out, feel so unprepared.

4 days behind you Hey! Here we go!

I'm 9/14, right around the corner. So most of you have to start the pre-op diet a week before or something? I'm supposed to do mine 2 days before.

9/14, totally nervous and looking for buddies.

Eeek!!! I don't remotely feel ready but I'm not sure I'd ever feel ready.

I'm going in 9/14 and would love a buddy, preferably on social media like FB, twitter, instagram or twitter. I'm 37 with about 100 lbs to lose and 5"0. I'm married, living in Central, MA with 3 cats, no kids. twitter: hismuse instagram: _hismuse Let me know, it would make me feel much more at ease and I'm good at replying.

I'm going in 9/14 and looking for a buddy too. Preferably on a social network like twitter, instagram or even snapchat.
