lcoon got a reaction from Mikee57 in coffee?
I think it depends on the type if WLS you had. If you had gastric bypass the reason you can't have coffee is the tannic acid that puts you at risk for ulcers. If you had Gastric Sleeve I think you can. I am having gastric bypass and that is what my dr told me.

lcoon got a reaction from BeagleLover in No Morning Cup of Coffee? For Real?
I know how you feel. I felt the same way. My surgery is next week and I was told by my doctor to stop caffeine 2 weeks before so I am one week down. First day I felt a little tired. Day 2 a slug! Day3 headache day 4 less. Day 5 a little more energy. Day 6 headache again and day 7 feel fine. It wasn't as bad as I thought. I now wake up and jump in the shower and don't even think about it!! You san do this ! It just showed me how addicted to food and drinks I am. It also showed me I can overcome them all. My surgery is on July 3. My new Independence Day!!!

lcoon got a reaction from hcabrooks197 in Need ideas; what should i tell my boss
I decided the truth is the best for me. I told my boss and he was very supportive. He said I'm proud if you for doing something to improve your health. I would tell your boss the truth. If she has questions...educate her. You could start by saying you know how I've been fighting thus immunodeficiency? Well I'm at my max dose of meds so now my dr thinks wls will help by losing the weight it will improve my disorder. That's the truth and may help her understand the link between the two.
