So I finally did it. Upchucked. 5 weeks out and havent thrown up anything. Was it off of cupcakes or pizza? Noooooooo it was coffee! I stop to have a sugar free cappachino on my way to work sometimes and that goes down fine. Today at work I thought "what the heck could the difference be?" So I made a freshly brewed cup. 1 slow sip....fine......2 slow sips....fine.......3 slow sips.....Uh oh

Beware of the coffe warnings folks! It really cant be tolerated post op!

I guess it's different for each of us. I drink one cup every morning with no problems. Don't need benefiber or other laxatives and it doesn't bother my tummy. :) Sorry you can't do it.

Sorry sis, I tolerate coffee just fine. Could it have been the Creamer you put in it?

I'm still pre op but definitely addicted to coffee. I am sorry you went through this and I hope it doesn't happen again! But at least you know ur limitations.

I am not sure I want to continue dripping coffee after surgery. I told myself that during the pre op diet I was going to ween myself off.... Since I absolutely hate up chucking I think I will stick to that plan!

Feel better soon

No problems here with coffee although I did stay off it for the first 8 weeks post op. Now I have at least one cup (more often more than that) a day.

Thank God I hate coffee. I don't have to worry about up chucking from coffee. ;)

I drink 16 oz of coffee everyday with no problems. I use Splenda and 1% milk. No probs! Sometimes I use my vanilla Protein Powder as creamer. Sorry it doesn't agree with you.

I haven't really tried coffee yet. I did have a sip of my husband's this morning and no problems. Sorry you had issues. Maybe it's just a one time thing (I hope!).

Just weird since I can tolerate the sugar free cappachino. Im sure that contains caffine. Its delicious so I guess Ill just stick with that or Decaf Folders

I would wait a few days and give it a try again. I'm a morning only coffee drinker and try to limit myself to 2-3 cups. I tolerate coffee just fine and the 20-30 oz of coffee really help me to get my daily fluids in. I wouldn't give up on it just yet.

I tried my first cup of coffee this morning. I was sipping on my husband's cup, actually and he's prepared it the same way for years. The funny thing for me is that it tasted so weird. I didn't get sick from it, but if I want to pursue having a cup then I think I need to go back to the drawing board and figure out a new way (taste) so I can enjoy it. Luckily, I'm not addicted to it at all. I just enjoy a cup in the mornings and miss the ritual more than the coffee.

I waited until 4 weeks out, but added coffee back in with no issues. I have a cup each morning. It makes me easier to live with at work, and it keeps me regular (sorry if tmi, but it works!)

I'm having my surgery on August 20, so I have a bit of time. I love my keurig. I drink about 2 cups each morning, skim milk no sugar. Lately, I've been putting a cup of black coffee in the fridge the night before, then mixing it with my morning Protein Shake. Tastes like a Starbucks fancy, expensive drink!! I might switch to Decaf in July.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
