coffee increase gastric juices and so post op it’s good to avoid ulcer causing things. Also preop so that you don’t have caffeine withdrawals when you’re healing. That being said I am angry and depressed that I have been told no coffee!! 💔💔

Good luck tomorrow! Mine is the 31st and I know I’m a pain baby so I’m nervous but I watched my husband have RNY 17 days ago. He was in pain right after but with the morphine pump and continuous Tylenol IV - it got better. He was up 4 hrs afterward walking the halls like a champ! As a nurse I know the importance of staying in front of the pain and this is what I would encourage. Take the meds at the suggested time even if you aren’t in pain the first few days. He only took oxy for 3 days and has been good ever since. He did religiously walk / even if it was midnight and just around our culdesac. It’s good for reducing risk for blood clots but also dissipating the gas - which I’ve heard is the big part of pain and uncomfortableness . Good luck! You got this!

I hope you have an easy time. More people seem to have issues with Constipation than diarrhea after surgery except those with lactose or whey sensitivities, and they seem to do well on plant-protein. Best wishes!
