what other liquids can we drink other than soup and water?

hey im really getting fustraded am i able to drink and eat only soup and water and jello for the first week after my surgery.
im really missing my coffee.
does anyone know if its ok to drink with milk and splenda.

I'm assuming you had a gastric bypass?  Not sure, but I think its really up to your surgeon.  Did you call?  I know they'd be happy to answer that question.

My own personal experience is that Yes, I am able to have milk in my first week.  I think you can have DECAF coffee - the caffeine dehydrates you, so maybe try that as an alternative.  I am also allowed to have splenda.  In fact I was given it to flavor my tea in the hospital. 

Hope that helps a little.  I am posting a new 'liquid' recipe after posting this comment... check it out on this same board.

I had skim milk yesterday with Syntha-6 Mochaccino.  Let me tell you this was sooooo sooo good.  I was like this is fantanstic.  My DD wanted a sip so I let her and she drank more than half.  I was kind of glad she did because I was full already.  I only made 4 oz but 2 oz was more than enough.  For lunch today I had cream of mushroom with skim milk, strained that was good too.  My baby DD wanted my soup too.  I drank 1/2 cup in 30 minutes.  Mine was cold too at the end.  Try the activia vanilla lite low fat I took 2 oz and of course my dd had about an oz but an oz was really all i needed.  Happy eating!!!
