Caffeine-free anytime. With my program, caffeine never again :(

My husband has drank coffee every winter for three years since his sleeve, a pot a day, and has lost 100 lbs.

I weaned off caffeinated coffee in the weeks building up to my surgery; I did 2 weeks of half-caff and then a week of Decaf. I figured I didn't need a caffeine headache on top of everything else! My surgeon/plan says no coffee of any type for the first 2 weeks post-op, but after my appointment last week, I was cleared for coffee! I spent the first week on decaf, and this morning moved up to half-caff. Once I run out of the half-caff, I'm going back to regular coffee- mostly because I love it! One thing to be cautious of: Don't load it up with cream and sugar, and stay away from the frou-frou coffee drinks at places like Starbucks. You don't want to drink your calories, especially empty calories!

Like leebick, I weaned off of coffee two weeks before surgery. (Also weaned off sugar) I'm 5 weeks post op and enjoy the smell of coffee but no longer enjoy the taste... at all. BLECKKKK! Crazy.

      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.
