I missed welcoming you earlier... so - Welcome!!!!

I can't give you any inside info on the liquid pre-op diet because my program only required me to be on liquids the day before my surgery (I lost 30 lbs pre-op in other ways). However, I can tell you that, over the past 7+ years here on DS, I've seen lots and lots of people make it through pre-op liquid diet. If you haven't already dropped caffeine, do it now (and take Tylenol). Stay focused on the long-term health benefits, drink lots of water, and you'll make it through!

I can't wait to cheer you on as you become the healthiest version of you!!

Thanks so much for your encouragement
I will make it, and be better , healthier and stronger for it

Welcome! Definitely wean off caffeine now to avoid cold turkey withdrawal. I'm not sure about your program but I had full liquids like soups and then clear liquids. I could have as much as I liked so I didn't feel too hungry. Nectar protein was on my program for clear liquids and worked great. You can do this! Keep your eye on your ultimate goal!

I have not had caffeine or carbonated drinks for 2 months

Any words of wisdom or advise is truely appreciated

Well done on already dropping the caffeine and carbonated drinks!! It sounds like you are setting yourself up for success! Do you start the liquids today? Drink lots of water and take care of yourself. You've got this!
