Does anyone know if 1 week post-op it's OK to have a small iced Decaf coffee? I swear I'll put skim milk in it! I don't miss the caffeine as much as the taste. I'm doing so well on my liquid diet, but I'm SO SICK of artificial sweetener taste in my mouth. My diet guidelines just say Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes with milk or soy milk-what do you think?:confused2:

I tried it early on and it did not go well for me. I tried 2 weeks out and 3 weeks out. It made me feel gross. However, everyone is different and by week 4 I was fine with coffee. If so, just start with a sip or two and see how you do. My dr. recommended fat free Creamer. I like the simply smart creamer. Yum. Good Luck.

Yum. That sounds good. I don't see why that would be a problem at all. If you are really worried though, call and check with your dr/nurse. I am 7 days post op and am having something new for lunch - Cream of Wheat- you think I'd died and gone to heaven! This is very tasty.

I had a fat free, Decaf, iced coffee exactly one week out. It tasted great and I tolerated it fine but could only do about 1/4 cup.

Also, I had baby oatmeal this moring and it was awful. Will try cream of wheat tomorrow. It's exciting to be on full liquids.< /p>

Of course you can. Decaf is on the liquid stage, as are popcicles. So, why wouldn't iced decaf be good? More important is how it feels to you. I prefered Hot Drinks after surgery- but that's a personal preference. Just sip very very slowly.

Thanks, all! I only had a little bit, but it tasted SO good. I have plenty left over for tomorrow if the craving strikes again. Can't wait until I can add some more variety in my food choices

      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.
