Do I really have to stay away from coffee for 3 months after surgery. Would I be able to get Decaf. Anyone know what the issue is with coffee

I was allowed to drink Decaf immediately after surgery. Well, within a week, once I was out of the clear liquid stage. I was told to stay away from caffeine, but decaf drinks were okay.

I wonder why each surgeon is different. My surgeon says no coffee for 3 months and not to even try Decaf because there is small amounts of caffeine in decaf.

I was allowed Decaf at 1 week.

I think the caffeine restriction is due to dehydration. I have been drinking Decaf (kcups at that!). No need to say goodbye to Keurig :-)

I'm happy to hear that some of you can still get their coffee so maybe I can sneak a cup in a few times. I'm a mocha fanatic and I know the mocha would be to much just yet but just a plain old coffee would satisfy me for a bit.

I was told no coffee for 1 month. I stayed away for a month but started drinking it in day 31 with no problems at all.

I was told Decaf as well, but the last couple of times I mixed some in with my Protein Shake, my stomach started to hurt, so I've left it alone for a while. If it doesn't bother your tummy, do decaf :)

Does anyone have problems with caffiene? If i drink coffe or tea or anything with caffiene it make me feels reslly really weird.. I feel like I cant handle it anymore since surgery. Does anyone else have this problem? Im jittery and just feel weird even if I have just a half a cup.

I was told no coffee for 1 month. Not even Decaf as coffee irritates the lining of the stomach. I was allowed decaf tea day 1 post-op. And its true, if you drink caffeine you would have to take in more fluids.

Just had my first cup of coffee a few days ago and no problems.

I have been having Ice coffee every morning for the past 2 weeks. It helps me with my energy and gets everything moving (if you know what I mean) I haven't had to take the Miralax or anything. I love it my NUT and DR said no problems just drink plenty of Water through the day.

      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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
