I wasn't cleared until 30 days post-op, bu I literally counted down the days. Rejoice in getting to have it so soon! Just make sure you go easy on it and dilute it with a lot of cream in the beginning to make sure your tummy can handle it okay.

They told us only Decaf everything for the rest of our lives. Caffeine can cause ulcers, and make gerd worse, that's my program, enjoy

It IS dreamy!

Mind if I ask ... since so many Dr.s and Nutritionist want us to stay away from caffeine (like all of mine) did they offer you a reason, as to why they have allowed it in your case? What's their reason? I've been driving myself crazy reading about the controversies over caffeine and coffee and other forms of caffeine.

Because if this does generate GERDS in the long term, then I need an Rx for amphetamines or provigil or something, lol. Since you know, the pill won't give me gerds!

I'm a month out and was just cleared for coffee. Went to Trader Joe's and bought their low acid French Roast. The acid causes ulcers, not the caffeine. I am usually a 3 cup a day drinker, but I was happy with just one cup (just black for me). We'll see how things go.

      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.
