Hi all

I am having gastric sleeve surgery with DrBruno Dillemans on 7th May 2015 I am excited and nervous mainly because losing 100pounds is so important to me so I can have Fertility treatment we have been trying for 7 years and this year I turn the big 30 which wouldn't bother me if I had a family I am not flipping out about getting older just that if I couldn't have a baby in my 20s 30s will be even harder and I may not be pregnant but I look it sad but true the joys of having polycystic ovaries and pernicious anaemia

two weeks pre op diet is odd choice between any shakes like slim fast lol

I have opted for Isopure zero carb shakes 221 cal each fat0.9g carbs 1.4g Protein 54.2g

Need to ask can I have caffeine?

Welcome! You can have caffeine during the pre-op diet (I was allowed to at least), but not for a while post-op as your sleeve is healing up. I went ahead and quit caffeine on my pre-op, just so I wouldn't have to be dealing with the withdrawal right after surgery. I was allowed to reintroduce caffeine at 30 days post op. One cup of coffee per day with lots of milk or cream mixed in to make it easier on my stomach. Now I'm 8 months out and drinking 3 cups a day.

Thank you for the info I am so glad I can drink coffee I feel crappy on pre op diet on Protein only no fat no carbs less 800 calories a day worse still is no ibuprofen which I take every day for pain in hip knee and back pain but on the bright side I am not hungry physically just in my head
