I drink decaff when available like coffee and tea. I don't drink a lot of it anyway but if I do have it I order decaff. I've tryed caffeinated and I got the jitters really bad.

I'm 34 weeks out and a coffee drinker both pre-op and post-op. I usually drink Decaf since the surgery but if I'm out and about and caffeinated is all I can get - I go for it. Haven't had any problems but I probably didn't have any caffeinated coffee for at least four months following surgery. I was quite worried about switching to decaf as I was not a big fan pre-op. But I drink Keurig coffee at home and their decaf is very close to being every bit as good as their caffeinated. I drink two to three cups a day with Splenda and flavored Creamers. Great "snack" or for dessert - low calorie, good for you (loaded with antioxidants) and filling. Highly recommended!

Hello. I am new here but wanted to jump in. I have read that caffeine can interfere with Vitamin absorption. If you google this question you will see there is a lot of discussion about this topic. I think everyone is different and if your lab work is ok then it probably is not an issue for you. Just wanted to put it out there. Personally, I have given it up and don't feel I need it. My Vitamins are more important to me!

I gave up caffeinated coffee. But the only way anyone is getting my Decaf is to pry it out of my cold dead fingers!! LOL!!

      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!
