I was a heavy coffee drinker preop. But now dont care for it. I was also a smoker. I quit 2 weeks preop but still craved and cheated occasionally. Since surgery, cant stand the smell and have no cravings. Weird, but thankful.

I also just started to make ice coffee and been putting Protein Powder in it and its wonderful... I can get the Protein i need and it taste great.

I drank a lot of coffee before and still do. Only now it's decaf!!!!! I can't tell the difference once I got over the no caffeine thing.

I can't tell the difference either between Decaf and regular and I've been drinking coffee since the age of 5!!! I think it's mental!

I guess I'm the "bad girl" of the bunch. I do drink coffee every day. I used to drink a venti everyday and now I drink a tall. It's all I have room for but I do enjoy every sip. I love my coffee and I've done very well. Sleeved on 12/13 at 246 and I'm at 185.1 this morning.

Yes, I still drink caffeinated coffee. It is one guilty pleasure I really enjoy. I just don't drink near as much. I'm satisfied with a small cup now, maybe two cups.

At work I have my premiere Protein shake (30 gm protein) mixed with equal parts black coffee. it helps me get the Protein Shake down which I find disgustly sweet without the coffee.< /div>

I do the same thing! Love it!

My Breakfast is a shot of sugar free vanilla Syrup, 8oz of skim milk and six oz of cafinated coffee for a home made latte. I did abstain, and honestly I don't know the diff between caffeinated or not (I was never effected by caffein) but once my doc allowed it (at three months, but my term was longer because of complications) I went back to the regular stuff. It's easier because it's what everyone else drinks around here.

I use a kurieg (I think one is by them and the other machine is by cuisinart?) and do single servings. costco sells large boxes of them cheap. The Kurieg machine has no reservoir (kind of like the single cup ones you see in hotels now) and I have to say it preforms better than the much more expensive cuisinart machine. I have one on the top floor of the house and one on the main level so I tend to use whichever is handier, but for the bucks, the cheap K machine was a better choice than the Cuisinart, even without a reservoir.

I am totally addicted to the Atkins advantage cafe caramel shake. It tastes great!! Made with real coffee. Even add it to Decaf iced coffee sometimes if I feel tired. 15g Protein but I love it as a treat sometimes if I'm craving something sweet. I was a huge coffee drinker and now this would probably be the only one I really love. I can't finish a cup of regular coffee anymore. I uses to have up to 11 cups a day before.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
