Seriously, What was your surgeons advise about coffee? My doctor says no caffeine and I'm ok with that because I never liked soda anyway. Joe is much more than caffeine. Joe is my friend, my assistant and I depend on Joe to produce at a top level each day at work. I just need a 6 oz cup first thing in the morning, no sugar, no cream. (i once mixed it with chocolate splendor Unjury, ice, light soy milk and a squirt of sf caramel syrup...it was better than anything served at the over hyped chain coffee shop with the green logo) I am good with my liquid intake 6 days out and already getting in 60+ oz and I'm not craving food AT ALL. But, life just doesn't seem right without Joe. I miss Joe. I need Joe.

My doc is totally okay with my Decaf coffee. Because it doesn't have caffeine, they are even allowing me to count it toward my Fluid intake. I, too, was a major coffee drinker before, and I think I need it even more now, possibly because I don't get that many "treats". And I love my coffee in the morning. So go with a good decaf-- that's my advice.

I have heard this no caffeine business around here, and I am curious as to why this is not allowed post-sleeve? Or is it just during the healing stages?

Just during the healing stages..Caffeine is a derivative and we try to drink as much Water as we can because of the issue of hydration...don't count coffee or tea as part of your liquids for the day...

I drink a cup or two of tea everyday....No problems here so far!!!!

I have been told no coffee, not even Decaf. (also too acidic) for the 1st 3 months while the stomach is healing. Then I will be allowed coffee again. THANK GOD! I too have an affair with Joe. He gets around! :)

i was never told to NOT drink coffee. even during my three week pre-op diet, i was allowed to drink coffee with milk. i think my surgeon's issue with coffee is the amount of sugar people put in theirs.

Don't worry there is plenty of time to return to addictions but the sooner you get to treating everything that goes it\nto your mouth as what you need not what you want the faster you will settle into the new life with the sleeve.

Modern research is now showing that not only is caffeine in moderation not bad for us, but actually has some health benefits.

Of course I don't have a source for you on that, but I have seen a few different pieces on the news about it in the past couple of years.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
