I would check with your dr. Every program is a little different as far as what they will and won't allow. I was told no caffeine during that time (and after... good-bye old friend!) so that may be a factor they look at. The biggest thing with the pre-op diet is to make sure your liver shrinks during that time because if it is too big and they can't retract it fully, they would not be able to do the surgery on your stomach. But again, I would just check with your dr to see what they allow

Yeah that’s what I thought . I don’t need it anyway I was just looking for something to drink when I go to a restaurant at a casino next week while they’re eatingI would check with your dr.

I think caffeine is a no no. Try something like cucumber water.they say Snapple is ok of it sugar free. My dietitian told me the caffeine in Snapple was different??????

Yeah that’s a good idea but I’m going to a Indian casino 4 days into my pre-Op liquid diet and I don’t know what to have besides water when my wife and her friend and I have lunch and dinner at the casino restaurant I looked at the menu and besides alcohol which I won’t have all they have is tea and coffee .i was just wondering if I could cheat one day and have a couple of glasses of iced tea then go back to the regular liquid diet to shrink the liver
