Normal?

Is it normal to still be a little hungry after all the water and protein needs are met? I am not like wanting bad things but ia it ok to go over the pre-req amount of 48 ozs of water? Not taking in more than the 8ozs per hour. I was able to get in 45 grams of protein but then my pouch said enough!

Most people are told 64 oz of water and 60g of protein min. a day. Others are told more. It'sokay to get more in as those are the min. amount.

As everyone always says, every plan is different.  I wasn't allowed protein my first three weeks (I don't know why...).  But I was drinking 80 to 100 oz of water/clear liquids that entire time.  I came through it fine (though admittedly I had minimal energy).  I'm impressed you're getting in 45 grams of protein this early.  I'm really struggling to get that much in, even though I'm five weeks out.

I found premier protein it's in shake a little more expensive but each drink has 30 grams of protein. I order it on line from premier 

company. 1 gram of sugar 160 calories and I like the taste.  

Of course it is OK to get more than 48 oz of water.  In fact. the Mayo Clinic says women usually need 72 oz of liquid a day and men need as much as 104 oz a day.

You might be feeling head hungry. Just keep up your fluids and protein and if your body says enough then you need to stop. Good luck!

I ended up in the 60 oz range I started my vitamins yesterday too and I woke up to dark urine this morning? I feel like I am getting in enough h2o so I dont know the reason for that..hmmm...

Are you newly post op?   I'm not sure why you're being told 48oz of water.  Perhaps that's a minimum?

Dark urine in the morning is normal.  Also, some vitamins affect the color of urine.

I've read where we should divide our weight in half, and that's how many oz we should be drinking.  For a very heavy person, this could would excessive, but I shoot for 80+oz per day (at almost 6mo post op).

 

You had surgery less than a week ago, right? I think it's head hunger, not real hunger. I had 80 grams of protein from the beginning (4 slim fast low-carb shakes a day to start with).

I am newly bypassed..not even a week yet. On the paperwork it said between 48-64oz I didnt know if I could do more. I didnt think it would hurt lol
