Liquid diet and coffee



Recommended Posts

those diets vary so much - some surgeons don't even require pre-op diets. Check with your clinic as they're the only ones who'll know for sure what your surgeon requires.

Its up to your surgeon. Mine specifically said not to give up caffeine during this time because of how rough it can be on the liquid diet that they dont want to cause more stress lol. but they did say no sugar, and for Creamers to use sugar free creamers only. for sugar i used TRUVIA which is what i still use everyday now post op. But yes using Protein Shakes for creamers is a great way to get in that Protein and coffee at the same time. My nutritionist highly recommended that.

Best to check, I was not allowed caffeine in my preop or 4 weeks after. But post op I'm allowed Decaf. Luckily I gave it up in the summer before even thinking about surgery, decaf is not for me.

      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.
