yes. depending on how far out you are and your particular surgeon's suggestions, they may prefer you do Decaf tea for a while. an iced herbal tea (naturally caffeine free) might be a good option if they want you to lay off caffeine for a while.

note: the whole no caffeine thing tends to become a heated debate on here. So I will just say follow your practice's guideline on that.

I'm drinking diet tea from wawa in a half gallon container that taste pretty good. You can also make your own tea and mix some crystal light lemonade . It's good. I drink or sip on diet tea or Water through out the day. I got tired of crystal too. Talk with your dietician...

I drink diet green tea, make my own iced tea, and, use iced tea with lemonade flavor in a glass of Water.

Depending on any caffeine restriction your plan may have, the possibilities for liquids is endless.

I drink Decaf iced tea once per day (16 oz). My plan doesn't say no to caffeine, but I haven't had any in 46 days now, and since I was so addicted to it for my entire life, I am going to keep it out for now.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
