So I remember my surgeon told me that after a few weeks I can have 1 cup of coffee but I keep reading that I shouldn't cause it causes dehydration and ulcers.. than I read people do it since day 1. So I am confused.

I'm starting to get used to it, but it is one of the tougher rules for me. I get thirsty when I eat, and because I am often NOT thirsty at other times, the craving for liquids really hits me. It can stretch out your sleeve, and it can flush food through too quickly so that you don't feel satisfied and eat too much. For me, on the few occasions that I was so thirsty that I broke the rule, just a small sip or two after eating made me feel bloated, gurgly, weird and gross, so fortunately it discouraged me from doing that and helps me stick to the rule. If I really need to, I rinse my mouth out instead.

There is a great post from 4 hours ago called Pouch Rules for Dummies. Even though you had sleeve there is some really great info there about reasons why you shouldn't drink before, during, or an hour after. Just search the title and you can find it. I'd copy and send you my stuff but I had rny.

Thank you for great advice

My instructions are four years old..Instructions seem to change.
(1) What are your calorie, Protein and carbohydrate goals ?????
(2) How do you set your goals up in baritastic or myfitnesspal????
(3) Are you doing it by reading food fact labels and writing them down?

How far out your surgery are you? I am three months out from and I’m still have hard time eating legumes... you can always try a small spoon and see if it hurts you or not... everybody is different on food tolerance

Thank you..this is exactly what I needed

With the sleeve I was told to expect to lose 60% of my weight. We all lose at different rates. Age body physiology, medical issues and medications can be a factor. I was a fast loser. I got to my goal in six months. I would have been fine if it took me a year or more.
What is your age bracket? I wish I would have had this done when I was younger.

I'm also a sleeve.

Well its obvious u did fabulous..what surgery did u get?

You only have so much room in your stomach after surgery. It's important to give yourself time to absorb the nutrients you need from the food, and drinking Water close to eating can flush out some of the nutrients - as [mention=353540]tamihunt[/mention] said.

I would if I could..

If you're only 17 days post-op, your body is likely still healing. It may be a bit until you see a good weight loss, but just stick to the plan that your doctor gave you, and once your body is healed, you'll start seeing weight loss.
