    I can't speak for everyone else...but I am can definitally say from my point of view that you are not alone. I have had those very same thoughts.

    Does anyone know the rules on coffee and preop diet? I start mine on Wednesday for Dec 12 surgery. It's food-based, not liquids. So 1,000 calories a day...8oz lean protein, 2 fruits, 2 veggies, etc. I'm seeing my surgeon Tuesday for my preop appt but want to start the diet Monday since its the beginning of the week. And if coffee is a no no it's going to be hard!
