Prior to surgery, I gave up my coffee and iced tea (the good stuff with the caffiene) and now, I'm three weeks post op....can I have my iced tea again?

I asked my coordinator - who said yes - but, I think she thought I was talking about Decaf iced tea...

I'm struggling with the same. I want coffee so bad today and I'm four weeks out. My spouse wants me to wait until the dr says ok but...

As with the rest of our diets, it's doctor and/or facility specific. Mine is completely fine with me having unsweet tea, but my program coordinator says no.

I listen to the person I let cut me. LoL

As I sit here drinking my half regular half Decaf morning cup of joe..

I say wait and talk to your surgeon about it.

I took up drinking it again (though only half strength) but I waited months!

I also know that it's risky, dehydration and I went to a support meeting recently and talked to a woman that developed an ulcer (painful) and coffee might have been a contributing factor..

I am approaching 15 days post op and my Nutritionist said I could have Chike iced coffee mix with milk if I limit it to one a day... And that was starting at ten full liquid stage day 8. That's 20 grams of Protein with 2 espresso shots. I was pretty surprised but am going to limit it to a "treat" here and there. It went down fine (sipped it for 2 hours while at work) and i didn't have an upset tummy. Every program is different...that is for sure!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
