My Dr said we can have caffeine once we get start hitting our daily 64 Oz fluid goals. But cautioned against it since it's a diuretic.

Check with your team. I was given a cup of coffee in the hospital the day after surgery! Granted it was supposed to be Decaf and the tray was wrong, but my RD said if I kept it down, I could drink it - she knew I was a major coffee drinker. I've been drinking it since. My favorite way to do it in the morning is three shots of espresso over ice and add a Premier Caramel pre-mixed Protein Shake - Yummy!

I'm supposed to wait 6 weeks. I don't really want to go back to caffeine, though. I've been drinking Decaf and I'm good with that. This from someone who would drink 3 large, Creamer filled cups of coffee in the morning to wake up then have a soda at lunch, pre surgery. Plus Starbucks once in a while when I was stressed, or had to get away from work, or just wanted something sweet, or to celebrate....you get the point!!

I'm with Diana. My doc said as long as I could tolerate it I could drink it. I didn't start in the hospital but I started maybe 2-3 weeks post op.

I drink Decaf cold brew. When it is cold brew it takes the acid out of the coffee. I have always tried to drink decaf so I will continue to. I pour about four ounces of cold brew over ice and then pour in y Premier Protein either vanilla or caramel and it tastes just like a Starbucks.

I'm not a big coffee drinker. I was told to avoid it since it's a diuretic. I avoid anything with caffeine in it. Tried Crystal Light with that stuff in it and got a bad Migraine. I'm not going through that again and Crystal Light has only like 5 grams of caffeine in it. Now I just get the fruity flavored ones...

Actually the research shows coffee isn't the diuretic people think and only causes a very small increase in urine output if drunk in large amounts (3-4 cups of coffee) after a period of deprivation.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
