My surgeon okays coffee, even with real cream. He says he drinks coffee and understands the need for it, and doesn't poo poo it.

I usually drink two cups a day in the morning, sometimes three if it's a rough day. I'll have iced tea in the afternoon, sometimes.

But I also get in all of my Water, and my meals. I usually will drink my coffee before I eat my breakfast. If I need that extra cup, I have it around 10 am, which is usually an hour after I've eaten breakfast.

I was never told to go Decaf. As usual, follow your doctor's guidelines.

I'm a stone cold addict!! I drink coffe from the minute I get up until the minute I go to bed and have for years and years. Of coarse I stop before and after meals but as soon as the wait time is up the cup is full again. I do do decafe in the afternoon and evening but coffee is just one of those things I haven't been able to give up.

I drink three half mugs every morning, with a flavored coffeemate. Sometimes SF or FF, sometimes full sugar, full fat. I drink them 1/2 at a time cuz I drink much slower now and I don't like when it gets cold.

If I want more (not lately, it's too hot) I'll drink Decaf all day long.

I have one to two cups a day. My doctor says it is okay as long as I do not eat and drink.

My Dr's instructions say it's ok to drink coffee "as tolerated" According to the nut. they are concerned about irritation of the stomach that caffeine could cause.

I started drinking 1/2 regular and 1/2 decaff at about 2 weeks out, with lots of ff milk and splenda. I've found that I love iced coffee made the same way, in a big cup with lots of ice and I put a scoop of vanilla Protein powder in there too. Lasts all day, if I replenish the ice when it melts. Yummy!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
