Hi everyone,

I'm 3 months out and thrilled with the results so far. I heard you can eventually have coffee after bypass. When???? I'll call my surgeon to check, but wonder what you guys have heard?

what are the results so far? how much weight lost?? make us all jealous, LOL!!!

I am still pre-op but have heard/read that decaf is ok... isn't it? or you craving for the real thing?

I am 3 months post op and drink about 10 ounces of coffee a day. Somedays are less. You just have to drink more water to make up for drinking it

I started drinking coffee at 9 months out... about 8 oz a day.

I can drink coffee but it's always better to drink decaf, otherwise it's a diuretic which essentially negative Water which isn't good since we need to be hydrated. My surgeon said I could drink coffee basically less than a month post op. watch out for the half&half, it's a killer for calories

I made my own decaf coffee syrup using the cold-brew method. It filters out the acid. Please note: I do not work for a coffee company. I also do not work for the company whose product I am mentioning here. I use the Toddy Cold Brew System that literally filters out acid. See http://www.toddycafe.com/shop/product.php?productId=67

Thank you, everyone, for your help and suggestions! I'll ease into this coffee thing! I've done everything by the book and don't want to mess up now. To answer as to how I'm doing... I've lost 57 pounds and I am SO happy! It's slowing down a little now, but I have to keep reminding myself how much I've lost. For those of you on the fence-DO IT!
