Dr allowed regular coffee... pretty much right off the bat as one of my Clear liquids. I think some docs are okay with it. I drink my lil 4 ounces or so with some sf Creamer. I had no issues with hair falling out. I lost my weight really fast. It was kind scary. I am at a "normal" amount now a few pounds here and there but I lost almost 80 pounds in about 2 months which was super scary actually. I made sure I got my Protein in and was lucky to not lose hair. thank goodness I have thin fine hair as it is and can't really afford to lose any! I did notice... your body scent changes a bit so be prepared for it to be different. I have lsot the taste for many things ( including cigarettes which is a huge blessing) Trust your body listen to it weigh and measure your food and you will do wonderful

I'm struggling to take the liquid vitamins and Iron :-( I'm 3 days post op and drinking orange juice so I'm thinking that's giving me Vitamin C and eating/ sipping soup! I feel ok though,is it important to take the Vitamins? And how long until I can go into chewy ones?

Thanks so much for the excellent info!!! I do have one question that I don't believe was covered above. What Vitamin supplements are essential after the surgery, and at what point do I need to start taking them and in what form.

Thanks!

caffeine dehydrates you and you won't hydrate properly. If your urine is dark its because you are straining your kidneys and thats the last thing you want to happen because your body is already going thru a drastic change.
