I have no pain, no nausea, but my biggest concern is that I am not drinking enough Fluid. I drank 20 fl oz today. Is that a good start or should I be drinking more. My fear is dehydrating

I was the same way, but I love good crunchy ice. I have been going to Sonic and getting a small cup of ice. Due to the small pieces it is easier for me to get my fluids in:)). Keep trying, you can do it!!

Monday,Oct.26, 2015 was the day of my surgery too!

The doctor told me to work towards getting 64 oz. of Water daily. I downloaded the Bariatric Timer app. to my phone remind to eat and drink. It has been helpful.

Mine was Oct. 26. Remember your Protein Drinks as well. They help keep you hydrated. Tonight I'm having Unjury chicken Soup and it is fabulous. Eight ounces of Fluid plus Protein. Didn't think I could stand another sweet Protein Drink. Heard so many people rave about the soup so I finally tried it. I'm so glad I did!

It is available on Amazon. You might find it at your hospital pharmacy-- hospital where you had/have your surgery.

I purchased it at a local ( non- chain) pharmacy. I was able to save shipping/handling charges.

I was an Oct 1st surgery and Water has been my biggest struggle. I'm fine during the week at my desk... on weekends is where I struggle. Running the kids around to and fro, I often forget to bring a bottle of Water with me. When I don't have enough water, I get constipated, which is a bad and painful thing.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
