Are energy drinks on the do not eat list? I'm wondering if anyone still has them. Also wondering how long you waited to have coffee? My nutritionist said coffee isn't good but that realistically she knows many will still drink it. She said I could see if I tolerate it and only in moderation but she didn't say how long to wait.

If you're thinking Monster or Rockstar, the short answer is no because of the carbonation.

I didn't touch coffee until two weeks out, seemed to be okay.

I was initially advised not to drink coffee. But after 5 mons doc gave approval to drink it if i must. suggested that i mix it though. Truth is my stomach can't tolerate to much caffeine at all now. So I mix a small cup 1/2 Decaf & 1/2 reg when I do drink it and it's satisfying. I really just drink it only once a week.

I drink the Monster Rehabs, they are non-carbonated, the one I really like is lemonade and tea. They are 10 calories and have a few grams of sugar so maybe wait awhile before trying them.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
