You need to check with your medical team. Most of us receive very different professional advice on diet progression. For me, I think I stuck to Decaf for the first couple of months since I'd already weaned off caffeine. After that, I opted to allow a single caffeinated drink per day. I had been a "drink coke zero like it's Water girl before" and it took me 6 months to break that addiction. One of the reasons caffeine is bad is that it leeches the Calcium from your system. As we've had major gastric surgery, we have a decreased capacity to absorb minerals to begin with and need to retain all we can.

I have coffee often. Once I was on general diet, coffee was not restricted. I usually take a scoop of unflavored or vanilla Protein powder and kill a couple birds with one stone - necessary nectar of the gods and 30 grams of Protein in one fell swoop. LOL.

I have 2-3 cups if coffee each day. NUT gave me the go ahead about 2 months out. Haven't had any problem with it.

I did switch from half and half to powdered milk (not coffee mate!) to boost Protein a bit

My doc let me drink coffee right off the bat. One thing to think about, for every cup of coffee you need to match it with Water because it’s a diuretic.(spelling) That being said coffee is the best appetite suppressant I have found. Before surgery I could not sleep if I drank coffee. Now I can abuse it and still sleep. It’s my one and only vise. I also dont have acid problems. That could be a problem for some.

I was given coffee with my Breakfast the day I was discharged. I drink it black. I have had no issues.

I drink about two mugs of regular, then switch to Decaf if I want more. So, both I guess :)

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
