Thanks everyone

If you can, contact your doc or nutritionist for clarification. They are in the best position to advise you.

During my pre-op diet, my doc allowed me any sugar substitute I wanted. My favorite being Splenda. There weren't any limitations on coffee. I was using CoffeeMate liquid creamer (one that has no sugar) - and Splenda in my coffee.

The main focus was on drinking high Protein, low carb shakes - shakes with less than 5 grams of carbs. I was drinking EAS Carb Control Shakes, from Wal-Mart. I later discovered Premier Protein Shakes, which I like better.

I could eat that way up to 24 hours before surgery. The 24 hours before surgery, I was only allowed Water.

Thank you so much

My surgery is in Mexico, so i don't have anyone but a coordinator to talk too. Hopefully she has the answers to some of those questions.

REally thank you

Same here, pretty much clear liquids the day before. Try not having caffeine the day before if you can. I was not allowed caffeine at all until 3 weeks after surgery. And I didn't miss it! Good luck to you!
