Starting pre-op diet today

Hi, I'm scheduled Nov 6th with Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta. This liquid stuff is not easy. Do you know if diet pop or coffee can be drank during this 2 week diet? Debby

Good Luck Debby. I would venture to say that you can't drink those things because of the caffiene and the sodium, but I would call your doctor to make sure. You shouldn't be drinking these things after surgery anyway, so now is a good time to stop anyway. I stopped about a week ago. It isn't that bad. Best of luck to you. Shawn M.

My doctor said no diet pop. But, he did give me a recipe for a high protein shake that includes decaf coffee, let me know if you want it!

Yes I would like to try the recipe. I have been waiting until the pop is flat before I drink it but I guess now I won't drink it. I have type II diabetes and today on this liquid diet I have had a protien shake for breakfast, yogurt for lunch and a sobe lean energy drink besides water and was feeling really sick. I ate 1 cracker with some peanut butter and am alot better. I guess I will have to carry my monitor around again to see if it's affecting my sugar counts. Thanks so much for responding!!

No problem!! The recipe for the Chocolate Mocha Protein Shake Fill blender halfway with ice Add enough water to just make the ice float Add protein shake powder (Isopure (50 grams of protein), Designer Whey (17g protein) Add 3-4 equals or other sugar substitutes Add 1-2 tspoons of decaf coffee Blend Now, I've never made this, so if you do...you've gotta tell how it is!!!!

I will give it a try. What is the Designer Whey. I have chocolate Isopure and the decaf so will try it that way. Thanks
