Thanks but my husband going.. I will be going on the tenth I changed to have a closer date to a couple of the people from here. But I think we are going to different hotels now but I'm glad my hubby coming with. But I see tons of people going alone and they say they do great so I feel you will also.

Sleeve scheduled for May 10th at MI with Dr. Lopez. My sis-in-law and I are both having it done and my hubby (who had his done at home in New Orleans in November) is coming to be our caretaker! Hope we don't give him too much trouble! I am very nervous but reading most of these posts help calm some of my fears.

Are you guys allowed to have caffeine during pre-op? I have coffee on my list of approved liquids, but I don't know about the caffeine??

I have been drinking caffeine the whole time and my surgery is Friday...From what I saw the important factor was making sure you have lots of water and it must be calorie free..Post op is where I thought the caffeine had to be nixed...I have just been cutting down from 3-4 diet cokes a day to 3-4 per week...I have lost 12lbs in 2weeks on the preop diet..

I'm only allowed decaf in the pre-op two weeks.

They want us to do caffeine free for the same reason pre-op as post-op. Caffeine is a diuretic and can aid in dehydration.

That being said, it's been the ONLY area where I haven't been super faithful to my pre-op. I just try and make sure I get in extra Fluid when I drink caffeine and monitor my urine color (lol that's sounds so nasty) to make sure I'm well hydrated. I'll be compliant and give it up post op, but for now, I am dragging as I'm adjusting to fluids only and caffeine helps me not pass out! lol it's better now on day 4 than day 1, so I'll try and drop it for week two of pre-op! :)

Thanks for sharing. I really only have 1 cup of coffee a day. I guess I can start diluting it with 1/2 decaf, then go to 100% decaf. I only have a week to go... ughh.

I am a big iced tea drinker.... so about a month before my optifast start, I started mixing decaf tea with regular and each week incrased the decaf. Now I drink only that and it is fine.
