Can I have coffee on my preop diet?

[purpleandgold 28]

I am really wanting some coffee, does anyone know if I can have a cup a day?

I had coffee on my pre-op, as long as it doesn't include high calorie/ high carb sugars and Creamers it should be okay. Did your Dr give you a specific diet plan? coffee and all no calorie liquids were on mine.

You might not be able to have it for a while post-op due to the acidity, that varies by surgeon.

Pre-op diets are as varied as the surgeons and dieticians who prescribe them. Only your team can tell you what is allowed on yours.

Here's my diet:

liquid diet:

* Water

* juice sugar free

* Jello sugar free

* Yogurt (natural or flavor)

* Bouillon or clear broth (chicken, meat, vegetables, miso Soup, etc it has to be clear, just the broth)

* Cream Soups made with non fat milk

* Popcicles

* Protein shakes 2 a day ( morning and night)

Also, She says I can have yogurt, but yogurt has a lot of carbs so I am a little bit confused on that.

@purpleandgold You should ask her specifically about the coffee then. As for yogurt, the Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt has a really good calorie/protein/carb range. For example, the strawberry has 80 calories, 12g Protein, and 8 carbs.
