This fourm is great. I feel like it is better than a support group would be because I can ask what ever and get lots of input. I am waiting on insurance approval, but should come with in a few weeks and then my surgery will be in Oct. I am sure that I will have lot's of questions between now and then. Like did I really read no caffeine? Is that forever and why?

I'm a huge Diet Pepsi junkie and the caffeine question was just about the first one that I asked my nutritionist about. She said that it was because caffeine is actually an irritant. She said that this is especially a problem because of the small area that the caffeine will now sit in and that if you consume it it will irritate the heck out of your stomach. :crying:
