My long love affair with my beloved coffee has come to an abrupt end! No warning, no signs, just over!!! Today was the second time, I tried to drink a cup of coffee, Decaf, but, it was really good! Well, it used to be:( It tasted like I don't know what, just nasty!!! Darn taste buds!!! Well, farewell my beloved, nothing but fond memories.....tears, tears, tears...........

Yeah, I feel the same way about diet coke. :( Miss my routine of a DC every morning. Then it just occurred to me that I can no longer have beer. I don't drink often but I don't drink liquor at all. :( Don't ever think about it until someone says No, No, no. then you want it.

thank you Jesus coffee still taste delicious to me... my favorite Protein Shake is nectar Cappaccino and yesterday I made ice-cream out of it mixed with almond milk.

Only thing I could not handle so far (day 14) was some of the pain medications they gave me liquid form of in the hospital. Just opted for the mild pain, the stuff made me gag.

So far, coffee is the first thing that has changed post sleeve! On that note, reese Peanut Butter cups, butter peacan ice cream, cheesecake, cadbury milk chocolate bars, etc., they had better change too, into the "just plain nasty" bin!!! Lol!!!

Best advice from my nurse was to use watered down grape juice to chase that nasty med taste.... It really worked :) I would have one med cup with meds in one hand and a med cup of grape juice in the other.

Try the Chike Protein iced coffee. It has 20g of Protein as well as caffeine and hits the spot for me. It does not have that "protein" taste or smell and goes down pretty easy.

I just got some Big Train in the mail. Sooo yummy! I tried the mocha and loved it. Can't have it for a while after surgery, but it'll be something to look forward to in the winter.

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
