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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
