My program allows Decaf coffee immediately post-op and caffeinated coffee after the three month check up. I had a hard time with plain coffee at first and drank it with soymilk for the first year. I drank Soy Latte or made instant with Soymilk instead of Water. I can drink coffee and espresso again now and really enjoy it.

Prior to surgery on 10/31/12, every single day II drank AT LEAST 4 Diet Pepsi's, a glass of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay, and 3 cups of coffee--with about 1/2 cup of milk froth and sweetner.

I gave up the Pepsi's and the Chardonnay cold turkey with no problems. However, I couldn't / wouldn't give up my coffee!!

So every day beginning with my first day out of the hospital, I've continued with my coffee. The only things I've changed is that I drink 2 cups, instead of 3, and I use 1/2 Decaf and 1/2 regular. I don't notice any difference in the taste.

I should also mention that I haven't had any problems with acid reflux and have been able to pretty much anything I've wanted once I moved to the regular diet.

Oh and I've lost 30 lbs since my DOS.

I used to drink a lot of coffee before my surgery but I stopped like 2 months before my surgery date. Today I am over 4 weeks post op and I have been craving for coffee all day. Is it ok to drink Decaf coffee?

any coffee lovers out there?

So I just came back from my first pre op visit with my surgeon and Nut and I asked them about regular coffee they said its fine we even joked that drinking decaf coffee is an insult to coffee... I just had a tall Starbucks Skinny Latte today I assure you it's perfectly safe.

The only watch out is that caffeine thins the lining of the stomach...like NSAIDs and such. Even without acid issues, it is not a good idea to drink too much caffeinated anything. I alternate between Decaf and caf. I look at it as I am drinking 1/2 the caffeine that I used to. Actually even less as I no longer drink soda. My doc recommends decaf only and never as a sub for Water. coffee actually dehydrates you...so it is something to think about carefully when considering your new anatomy and the need to keep the stomach ulcer free

I asked my doctor , surgeon , nut and all 3 said coffee is fine doesn't have to be decaf and it doesn't effect lining it does cause acidity in some people but that's about it. I tried to google if regular coffee have any side effects on sleeve and I couldn't find anything .

Chike has a Protein plus energy shake that has two shots of espresso in it. It's delicious! I have it every morning. It's only 130 calories and has 20 grams of protein. You can get it at Celebrate Vitamins, Amazon, or chike's website. It comes in packets :-)

Same info I got. And apparently the diuretic effect is also debatable according to my NUT. Everything in moderation, including moderation :)

I think they are ok. I don't see why not. However, I generally add coffee mate coconut creamer to my coffee that is not SF. Usually just a tbsp or so, but it really tastes good in my morning coffee. Gotta be alert to how much is used because higher calorie.

I use both, one day sugar free caramel Macchiato and the next day - ONE teaspoon of cinnamon bun (fully loaded) creamer. But the base is non-fat half and half creamer at 20 calories. Be careful of calories (and some people caution us on carbs too).

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
