My surgeon never said anything about caffeine but I keep reading about it on here. I have one more meeting with him prior to surgery and will ask about it but in the meantime, can someone please explain the reason?

I start my preop on Monday. Heaven help me...... Lol

@@taracutch Caffeine is a diuretic which is not a good idea when trying to keep fluids on board and caffeine is an irritant this could cause ulcerations.

Wowwwww!!! A lot of 6/27!! I'm on 6/27 too!! I don't get my diet until I go to my meeting on 6/7 so no advice yet but let's keep each other posted! I bought all my post surgery stuff off here.

How do I get the nectar sample kit?

I got mine from this site. I bought 2 cases and each one had 15 different flavors.

Plus, if you go into caffeine withdrawal, the headaches can be brutal. Not something I would recommend going through while also trying to recover from surgery.

Which flavors are good?

I haven't tried any yet bc the post-op people keep saying that my tastes will completely change post-op.

Here's a pic of 9 of the 15

The rest

@@Twuzzy, you and I have the 7th! Are you starting to get nervous?

I am getting very nervous. I start my 2week liquid diet in a little over 24 hrs, and am worried about my resolve there. How are you doing?
