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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
