I am craving coffee!!!! I am one month out. Wondering if and when you all were able to put coffee back in your diets?

I drank it the first week post op. Haven't had any problems but I only drink one cup ever-

I can see how it might cause an issue for some who get full and don't drink their required other healthy fluids-

Caffeine might also irritate the stomach- might be a consideration. You could check with your NUT.

I was allowed in the hospital day 1. We just limit caffiene to 16oz per day.

I never had any limits on coffee. I have had it several time (I'm 2 months out) but my taste buds have changed and I really don't want it anymore.

I really used the first 3 months to lose weight and to forget my cravings. Coffee was a biggie for me--but I waited for 90 days to drink coffee. Now I drink 1-cup [usually only part of 1-cup/day].

I know a doctor who has the sleeve who is a coffee lover. DITTO on the 90 days minimum for him since you need to give your stomach some time to heal. He deals with some acid reflux and said he would NOT have that at all if he did not drink coffee, but that is a trade off he is willing to make because he loves coffee.

Now if the Acid Reflux got bad enough he would go off coffee.

PS for me more that 1-small cup of coffee makes my insulin go nutzo and I want FOOD--like a donut. THAT is NOT a trade off that I am willing to make, so I have tested how much satisfies my craving without pushing me into a "problem".

ALL foods should be tested 1 at a time. For example I ate some raw coconut straight out of the coconut [high in protein], but it was too soon, I ate too much, too fast and wow did that HURT.

I am 57, I lost 45 lbs + 45 inches in 45 days. The first 90 days for me was about WEIGHT LOSS using my Isopure shakes [50 grms of protein] and zero carb drink [40 grams of protein]. Add it up--90 grams of Protein / day and WOW o WOW you will lose weight FAST.

I have slowed down now at 4 months, but I am down 55 lbs total. Think more about your goal and less about cravings at this point in the game.
