I know it's not forever, but being allowed to drink it would make the two week pre-op liquid diet so much more tolerable!

*yawn*

(Of course it's worth it, but I just needed to vent. Thanks for reading )

Totally understand! I was the exact same way! That was always my go-to when I was dieting and it kills my appetite, so I get it.

Before you know it will be over and you will have your coffee back. I was allowed coffee 10 days post-op, but I could barely drink any at that point (I had to get up early, take my antacid granules with Water then wait an hour). It took about a week until I could handle a cup of coffee at a time. Now, on full liquids, I enjoy getting a small cup and sipping on it throughout the morning at work.

Good luck to you! I know it's rough, but you will get through it!

It is tough, but trust me it's way better to do it the way you are doing it then to wait until you have the surgery then all of the sudden be going through caffeine withdraw, carb withdraw, sugar withdraw all at the same time.

I was allowed 2 cups a day. It definatley kills my appetite

I weened myself off coffee. I mostly drink tea but I have one decaf a day. After surgery I can't have any and I'm ok with that. Not craving caffeine really helps!

Thanks everyone!
