coffee drinkers?

[NMJG 1,266]

My NUT at the clinic says no caffeine, that it makes you hungry and dehydrates you. I've weaned myself off of caffeine in prep for the surgery. I would think that 1/2 and 1/2 or sugar sweetened Creamers would be a pretty bad idea - just drinking calories....

Drinking cals isn't the best idea but neither is me without my coffee and my clinic had given the go ahead on a little caffeine. I am just over 6 months out with 26 pounds till goal so it hasn't derailed my loss too much:) I have already lost over 2/3 my excess weight.I am not as stringent as some but more than others so I guess I am a moderate eater.Slower loss has become ok with me as long as I am losing and happy.

Hey chick you seem to have a lot of info on nutrition, when did you get your surgery??

[Fiddleman 4,376]

My center said we could drink before and after surgery, just not the immediate day before in order to have body ready for surgery. I like coffee now, a lot. Drink every day in the mornings.

I am still having a cup every morning. I drink it black, which helps because I have to microwave it 2-3 times and still don't finish it.

Lol well thanks.but heres the big shocker! I have not had my surgery yet! I have just done alot of studying on the sleeve goin to seminar n online research.. because this is wut I want..I already been thru all the hoops they want u to jump thru to see all the doctors an all.passed with flyin colors..got my surgery date set for june 5th.just waiting to see if insurance accepts!! I knw alot also because I have pretty much done all the different diets..been on Meal Replacement shakes..fresh fruit n veggi shakes..before n everything on my own so it comes easy to me..the cool thing I liked about the sleeve is tht u get to still lead a normal life afterwards..u still get to eat pretty much all the same stuff..my doctor prefer I dnt eat pasta.rice.or potatoes.no bread.which I never ate bread anyway lol.. after surgery..n everything must be sugar free.fat free.etc...cause why would u go thru all the trouble n hard work n put the bad stuff bak in ur body..n I agree with him..alot of ppl dnt like dr.oz but I agree with most of his stuff n think he is a intelligant man..n any doctor will tell u to stay on outskirts of the store..where everything more natural then not then when u shop in the center iles..I have spent my life dieting lolz unfortunatley diet n exercise was not my problem..I found out I had polycystic ovarian syndrome..n this is why I have been battling with my weight n cant get it off..seen a pamplet at dr office one day n had all the symtoms n said I wanna be tested for this n sure enough I had it.wut wud u knw yrs n yrs later..I finally figured out I was not the problem lol.was yet a good but still sad feeling tht it took this many yrs n me to figure it out on my own..but hey look where im at now..n I praise god for it!! N I just pray tht I get accepted for the surgery so I no longer have to battle this weight n can finally enjoy life

I am now on my two week liquids before surgery!! So far so good! Managed to get 975 calories in today lolz n tht says alot for me I feel super full n miserable rite now n have felt tht way all day..still have 25 grm of Protein to intake lol omg!!

[California_Chick95969 59]

My dieticion told me tht since im gonna be sippin on my Protein Shake off n on all day tht I need to make it thicker..here is my thinkin..I think im gonna buy plain greek yogurt n add my 25grm of Protein in it instead of water..so its more like a vanilla pudding n not a thick nasty drink to try n drink down..think tht wud make me sick lol..then just save my drinkin for drinkin water..n if im in a hurry n on the go then I can do the shake idea n see how it goes..im drinkin Isopure no carb..n dnt seem thick at all so I dnt see it getting thick with less Water n more protein cause its not thick like most lol..ive already halfed the water n still wasnt thick..u half it any more u mite as well eat the powder lol

Sounds like a good plan for now but might not work very well right after surgery.
