Thanks everyone. I’ll probably wait and ask the doctor on my appointment on the 16th. Thanks so much everyone :)

I was offered coffee in the hospital, but I don't drink coffee lol I get my caffeine from the protein shakes that have it (fairlife is amazing). I've had it from day 1 that I was allowed to have the shakes. Also, my dietician said as long as you increase your fluids when having caffeine, you'll be ok because caffeine tends to dehydrate. I drink my shake in the morning and then another 70+ ounces in fluids throughout the day.

Hi Nicole! I was told 3 months due to caffeine causing dehydration and the acidity of the coffee bean causing issues while healing. However, it definitely varies per program. The lack of caffeine doesn't necessarily bother me...I just want my coffee for the taste alone. I'd be lying if I said I haven't contemplated giving it a try Looking forward to seeing what others have to say. I'll be 4 weeks post op tomorrow and two months seems like forever right now.

Surgeons tend to vary drastically about this. Some people are offered coffee for breakfast in the hospital and others aren’t allowed any until months out. Best to check with your team on this one.

When I take my pills in the morning I throw up and when I take my pills before bed I throw up. I’m 3 weeks PO. Is anyone else having this issue?

I’m so excited to get the surgery over with. . I had sleeve surgery 9/2017 and having complication s. Part of my sleeve is in my chest and it’s painful. Hope to have better luck with gastric bypass.
