Hello everyone!!

I am on day 9 of my pre op diet and I really want a cup!!!! I just can't risk the thought of sabotaging all my hard work!

Does anyone know how we can tell our liver is shrinking?

Add Decaf instant espresso to a Protein Shake and viola! Hot or cold latte! Make it a chocolate Protein shake and viola! Mocha!

I never stopped drinking coffee up to the op and after.

Every Doctor has a different view on it.

I had six cups of strong coffee the day before my op as I new I couldn't have too much afterwards. I didn't get any headaches or any withdrawal and I have not been dehydrated at all. I am a hardened coffee drinker though :)

The decisions comes down to, what do you want to do.

I realise my post has been no help to you whatsoever and I apologise!

I drank 1 cup of coffee a day while in preop? I love my coffee, but I can't drink it now? Atleast now how I like it? I used to get Dunkin med mocha w/cream and 1 splenda, and can't have that mocha anymore, but I am trying today to have french vanilla coffee? I love my flavors and the french vanilla is sugar free, so maybe I can drink it? Drink it now cause post surgery you don't know whats going to change?

Freak the calories, it's going to be hard enough to get in your fluids at first, Water and Protein, just do what you can, and have your coffee, it won't hurt you!!! But you may have to decide on a different one after cause that is a lot of calories? Try new things, your tastes for things is going to change after the surgery!!! Trust me mine has!!!

I was told no coffee at all. Caffeine can dehydrate you and it is also an appetite stimulant.

      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.
