Hello everyone!!

I am on day 9 of my pre op diet and I really want a cup!!!! I just can't risk the thought of sabotaging all my hard work!

Does anyone know how we can tell our liver is shrinking?

Add Decaf instant espresso to a Protein Shake and viola! Hot or cold latte! Make it a chocolate Protein shake and viola! Mocha!

I never stopped drinking coffee up to the op and after.

Every Doctor has a different view on it.

I had six cups of strong coffee the day before my op as I new I couldn't have too much afterwards. I didn't get any headaches or any withdrawal and I have not been dehydrated at all. I am a hardened coffee drinker though :)

The decisions comes down to, what do you want to do.

I realise my post has been no help to you whatsoever and I apologise!

I drank 1 cup of coffee a day while in preop? I love my coffee, but I can't drink it now? Atleast now how I like it? I used to get Dunkin med mocha w/cream and 1 splenda, and can't have that mocha anymore, but I am trying today to have french vanilla coffee? I love my flavors and the french vanilla is sugar free, so maybe I can drink it? Drink it now cause post surgery you don't know whats going to change?

Freak the calories, it's going to be hard enough to get in your fluids at first, Water and Protein, just do what you can, and have your coffee, it won't hurt you!!! But you may have to decide on a different one after cause that is a lot of calories? Try new things, your tastes for things is going to change after the surgery!!! Trust me mine has!!!

I was told no coffee at all. Caffeine can dehydrate you and it is also an appetite stimulant.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
