does anyone know why the drs./nutritionists don't want you to drink tea, once you have had the surgery?

My Surgeon & nutritionist encouraged it. They just want us to drink caffeine free.

Decaf.

The caffeinated not only helps to dehydrate you, which is bad enough, it also blocks Calcium. Caffeine keeps it from absorbing. On a regular person the Calcium block isn't that much..but on us...I just don't want to try it. Ya know?

I am really having an issue giving up coffee. I don't drink very much, but that cup in the morning is a must for me-I have heard some surgeons say that a cup is ok if you make sure to drink an extra 8 oz of Water that day. Otherwise I follow all the rules completely but this one is sooo hard :unsure:

      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.
