I gave it up two months before surgery. I think we are allowed coffee at three months? I'm four months out but decided not to go back to my old habit. When I quit coffee I started sleeping through the night w/o any sleep aids. I hadn't been able to do that in 27 years. Who knew the solution was as simple as giving up coffee? :-)

Caffeine depletes nutrients that you are struggling to get into your body. It causes Water retention yet dehydrates you. Caffeine is not essential so why pollute your Buffy with it. I drank several cups of coffee a day before surgery. Since I've invested in getting my life back and beginning this journey with WLS I have given up anything and everything toxic, including caffeine.

Preop weight 389 current weight 304...that's 85 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

I do not pee anymore than usual, my doctor recommended arizona tea as a post op liquid, so I've been drinking it since surgery...

I took my son to mcdonalds the other day. The only drink I remember them having that was caffeine free besides coffee, was the fountain lemonade. Of course when I went in, they no longer carried it and I had to settled for lemon Water with splenda.

My doc said NO CAFFEINE EVER! Luckily for me, I have been caffeine free for four years. :-)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
