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.

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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
