I am new to this board
Hi Carol! Welcome to the board. I didn't have to do a liquid diet so I can't help much other than to tell you I have heard the first couple days are the hardest. Stay strong you can do it!! As for caffiene. I believe they prefer you not to have much at all especially in the beginning as it can hurt your sensitive pouch and works as a dietretic (sp). I do have a couple of cups of regular coffee each day but didn't start it until about 3 months or so after my surgery. Best wishes to you on your journey.
