6 days post op and craving coffee!-suggestions?



Recommended Posts

6 days post op and feeling better. Those post op blues were intense! I hope that is over! I'm craving a cup of coffee today, but know it might not be good on my pouch. I think I'm missing the morning habit of something warm and yummy. I tried Decaf green tea yesterday and that did not go well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :D

I was allowed Decaf coffee. Not sure if you are on full liquids yet but I used a little SF Coffee Mate. The acid can be a bit rough so just drink a little. I get gung ho now and can get a bit queasy.

Thanks Heather. Not sure what you mean by "full liquids"? Doc said I could upgrade to puree foods tomorrow and try Protein Drinks today (small amt at first).

I was and am allowed to have regular coffee. Doctor said it was ok. Although, I'm only able to drink about half a cup.

Be careful, a few on here have developed ulcers drinking coffee.

a friend of mine found a coffee or cappichinno flavored Protein Shake that she said was amazing! She found it at the Vitamin shop.

Thanks. I tried a bit today and realized I wasn't missing much. I only had about an ounce and then I threw the rest out. :rolleyes:

Hey, also look at cappuccino-flavored yogurt. Chobani has "minis" that are coffee flavored (but might have chocolate), but I'd imagine a yogurt would be a good transition?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
