Depends on your Dr. My Doctor says no caffeine or alcohol at all during pre-op phase. Also NO CARBONATED beverages after ever... Reason is the carbonation expands your stomach and you can cause erosion and slippages. What a bout some mineral Water with a twist of lime? I know its hard when we are use to doing those things. We are going out to Celebrate a friends birthday and I am doing water with a twist of lime only. I might have a crystal light margarita flavored water before I leave the house but I need to give my all to the pre op diet. Best of luck and have fun!

Alcohol is big no-no so close to surgery. Not only is it a blood thinner, it adversely effects your liver. The whole reason surgeon put people on pre-op diets is to shrink the liver to make it easier to work around and less risk of accidentally injuring it.

Alcohol this close to surgery would be a big mistake.

you are so welcome. Thats what is great about this site we all are in similar situations. Good luck to you and post in and let us know how you are doing... their are also several groups like springers, may banders, and so on that you might want to add too. It helps me a lot to connect with people in the same phase as me.

wishing you lots of luck!

My surgery is scheduled for the Tuesday after Labor Day, yikes! I will NOT be drinking alcohol that weekend, but it will be hard since I have a two graduation parties to attend. I tell myself, I can get through it, it's only temporary. Life will get more back to normal down the road post-op. I hope, anyway. Good luck on Friday and hang in there. :D

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
