GREAT JOB! WAY TO GO! I am currently on a preop liquid/veggies diet also; doing the shake thing. It's day three for me. My scale is weird so i don't know if i'm loosing or not. Anyways, depending on what you're allowed to have on your diet (every doctor is different) I like the mocha chocolate idea. As long as you are allowed to have caffeine it should be okay, just don't sweeten the coffee with sugar-use splenda! Best of luck to you!

I added Folgers Decaf instant coffee to my shakes several different times (my doctor was fine with it). BTW...it didn't taste all that great, but it was something different. I enjoyed the variation. Many blessings to you.

I went into surgery with Bronchitis. NOT FUN. Try what ever you can to get rid of that cough before surgery. It was very painful for me. And 3 weeks post op I am STILL sick.

While on my liquids I was able to have coffee. Sounds like a good idea!!

Only 1 week to go! Good luck with the surgery and I hope you get over the cough. You have done really well, with the pre-diet diet and the pre-surgery diet and your weight loss is great. Keep up the good work and enjoy your coffee-flavored protein shakes.
