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. :-)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
