There are a lot of differing opinions on coffee. NUT had it as okay after 7 days, but we're also on a daily acid inhibitor.

My nut says it is the caffeine noy the acid but didn't explain completely. Since I am 7days post op, I am going to follow the rules...for now. I can do without coffee though I love it but I know we will dance again at a later date

My nut said caffeine pulls Fluid from the body and can cause dehydration. I say go for it, but make sure you up your Water to compensate.

She also said it's a stimulant and can make your digestion process speed up (so you're hungrier sooner and eating sooner). Consider decaf...

My program says no coffee for 3 months! I love drinking coffee on my way to work (I work 3 nights a week, so not a lot). And it has been so hard and my Keurig is so lonely lol. My surgeon said caffeine is a strong stomach irritant and can cause stomach pain. Just proceed with caution, let me know how it goes if you try it.

One of the first questions I asked my surgeon at our first appointment was whether I could still have coffee. He said to have it and enjoy it. Thank goodness, because that would have been a game breaker right there.

My doc said no coffee. Ever. :( I had some today and.... Was the most regular I've ever been. I don't really like it as much anymore. Since the sleeve Splenda and sugar free stuff grosses me out. Before I could eat sugar free everything. Bleck. Am I the only one?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
