I know it's not forever, but being allowed to drink it would make the two week pre-op liquid diet so much more tolerable!

*yawn*

(Of course it's worth it, but I just needed to vent. Thanks for reading :D )

Totally understand! I was the exact same way! That was always my go-to when I was dieting and it kills my appetite, so I get it.

Before you know it will be over and you will have your coffee back. I was allowed coffee 10 days post-op, but I could barely drink any at that point (I had to get up early, take my antacid granules with Water then wait an hour). It took about a week until I could handle a cup of coffee at a time. Now, on full liquids, I enjoy getting a small cup and sipping on it throughout the morning at work.

Good luck to you! I know it's rough, but you will get through it!

It is tough, but trust me it's way better to do it the way you are doing it then to wait until you have the surgery then all of the sudden be going through caffeine withdraw, carb withdraw, sugar withdraw all at the same time.

I weened myself off coffee. I mostly drink tea but I have one Decaf a day. After surgery I can't have any and I'm ok with that. Not craving caffeine really helps!

      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.
