First, I'm a Lap Bander, if that makes any difference....coming up on 4 years since surgery....

I cannot live without coffee....

I had my first cup about 12 hours after surgery....I drink coffee the same as I ever did....which means all the time...

Has never been an issue with my Dr....

But do not do as others do, but do as your Dr. directs you to do and follow his/hers treatment plan...

I can't stand Decaf none of is good. My nut said no coffee 6 months then one cup a day. They are wrong on diet it's a fact studies bear it out low calorie exercise diet will keep you fat cause you will be hungry the low fat craze is misguided but they depend on government for much so they go along. What does that have to do with coffee? I know but I Just really believe it's crazy to restrict it so much. I drink it for the buzz and flavor decaf has neither. I'm 6 weeks in a few days drink 4-5 a day exercising big time and drinking 120 ounces of Water. Low carb feeling full almost always just left gym Isopure and Starbucks holiday iced coffee coming up!

Try Chike High Protein Coffee. It contains two real expresso shots so the flavor is good and it gets me going in the morning, while giving me 20gr of Protein. I make it in the blender w/water and crushed ice. It tastes just like a Dunkin Donuts coffee coolatta! (Like a coffee frappe, for those who may not know what a coolatta is) Delicious!

I was buying it from Amazon but my favorite nutrition store, Performance Nutrition, is ordering it for me now. I like to support local businesses. It comes in a canister or a box of individual envelopes. I bought a blender for the break room at work and take the envelopes on my long day when I work 10-11 hours. :-)

      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! 😞

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
