coffee is a diuretic so docs ard cautious about caffeine to avoid dehydration since keeping fluids and Proteins in check are the priority.

U guys are right. A week ago b4 surgery when I would hear about people cheating even a yar out I just thought they were sooo stupid. But now that I am actually in the thick of of all. Just getting out the hosiptal today surviving on purely chicken broth and jello... I just feel like I need a better menu selection. I don't think I know what to eat and I hate this feeling of hunger but no room. I would be ok if it was the soft stage... but I feel like I'll never get there. What is week 2 like realistically as far as what u can eat?

I was "eating" Protein shakes one week out. At two weeks out, I was able to eat yogurt and refried Beans.
I wouldn't cheat, there is no reason to risk a leak. Plus, it's a slippery slope and isn't that what got us here in the first place? Sorry to preach, I need to hear it too.

Glad I am not the only one that did that!!

I still think it will not work even though there has been some weight loss. After so many failed attempts I think this is natural.

I am scheduled for surgery on October 3rd and I seriously think this EVERY single minute of EVERY day that ticks down til surgery. I understand this is just a tool to help me get to where I need to be. But that anything can be manipulated to not benefit you. If I choose to suck down 1,000 calorie milkshakes this won't work. I will just have to be responsible and accountable for what I eat, when and how...

Im 32, 270 lbs... surgery date is Oct 23,2012! im getting excited, but i keep thinking, what if i go through this major surgery, & it doesnt work for me?! anyone else feel like that?
