I'm six months out and was having a hard time with dehydration and hunger so I started to make sure I was drinking 64oz of water a day at least per my Dr. So now that I'm drinking I figured it would help with some of my hunger between meals. I feel like I need to eat like every 2 hours. I'm trying to have healthy snacks with protein. I'm just afraid I'm over eating. Does anyone have this problem or any suggestions. I'm also wondering how many calories should we have a day?

Almonds, almonds really help me out

Thanks, I have been trying to eat more nuts lately. I'm thinking of getting some pistachio nuts too.

Hi--I'm from Syracuse too and will be having surgery with Dr. Graber on 6/29--but at St. Luke's. My insurance requires this. Any pre-op hints? Glad you're doing well.
