Caffeine Before And After Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Reading through some of the posts on here I have seen several people have given up caffeine either before or after getting sleeved. I am curious if you did give up caffeine if this was requested from your doctor and what the reasons were? My doctor and nutritionist did not say caffeine was off limits, but I am curious if there are known or suspected complications.

Caffeine tends to dehydrate you! So it's best to stay away, at least for a while. I don't generally have caffeine, but I know some folks here on the board do eventually have a cup of coffee a day. I'm sure others will post more. Just be sure you are taking in enough fluids. And I would wait till things settle down.

I was asked to avoid caffeine for a month after surgery--it can irritate stomach tissue. I started drinking coffee again at five weeks and I'm fine with it now. I have a cup or two a day.

you can have as much as you want.. I started with the hot tea and coffee it would put my stomach at ease and relax everything. Start them the same time you can have Soups. I drink 1000mg a day for a year now zero side effects other than sleep if i had it to late in the day. my doctor had the sergery and he drinks coffee all day as well..

My nutritionist and doctor have not banned caffeine for me, but I've decided to kick the habit prior to surgery. My primary motivation was just to avoid the withdrawal symptoms during my recovery should I not be able to fit in any caffeinated beverages. I've been a hardcore user and have been known to drink a 24oz cup of coffee, and 2-3 Coke Zeros throughout the day. So far, so good. I haven't had any caffeinated beverages since Tuesday.

They told me to only do Decaf but I do have sometimes some real coffee, about 4 oz every other day :) I think is alright, as long you are drinking your daily Water

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
