You go for it! I had to quit a very serious coffee, (caffeine) addiction before my surgery. It almost killed me and I was very thankful I did not kill anyone. You you asked to give up caffeine? I was advised by my nutritionist three months prior to start weaning myself off, but I choose to ignore her recommendations and waited until my 2 week pre op diet. I paid, big time! All the best on your journey. Your early commitment is an asset to you.

I lasted about 8 hours then had to go to the grocery store and its a bad idea to go the least bit hungry. Bad choices. But yea have to work on giving up caffeine. It's hard.

You are doing fantastic so far! Anything you can do to embrace the post-surgery lifestyle is fantastic.

Reducing your calories AND solid food intake will really make you appreciate smaller quantities of solid foods. I wish I could express how important that is.

I knew the pre-op diet was important, but did not truly appreciate it until post-op.

You are REALLY embracing this life change! I hope you have continued success! Keep us updated!

      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.
