11 B.S.
I am about 11 days away from my surgery and am on day 3 of my high protein/low carb preop diet. I kicked the caffeine habit about 2 weeks ago. Granted, the nutritionist has not forbidden caffeine. I just decided to quit cold turkey to avoid going through withdrawal during the first week or so of being sleeved. I have also given up soda. Most of the bariatric doctors caution against drinking soda. Supposedly, it can damage or potentially enlarge the sleeve. Oh, I have even given up alcohol...for now.
