A 12 ounce Starbucks PSL has 300 calories, 38 grams of sugar and 40 grams of carbohydrates. I probably would skip that.

I weaned off caffeine prior to surgery. Switched to Decaf coffee. Immediately postop, however I only drank decaf herbal tea. coffee is very acidic (even decaf) so not a very hospitable thing to immerse your raw, healing incision in. After about a month I tried some decaf coffee but it was very irritating to my sleeve. It was several months before I could tolerate coffee and even a year out if I have more than 2 big cups/day, I can feel it.

I've read about other people starting back on regular coffee like the day after surgery, so who knows. I guess you could give it a shot, keeping in mind that it could impeded healing. And as for a mega Starbucks drink, the calories and sugar alone should be avoided at this point. I used premier Protein vanilla and chocolate and Torani SF syrups to liven up my coffee.

@@Sleeve101 There are pumpkin spice flavoured K-cups (various brands)--delicious, and no guilt! :)

@@Sleeve101 Well like everyone says its full of sugar and you don't want that. Stevia makes pumpkin spice Drops if you can find them you could make your own version of a spice latte or you could just add them to a vanilla Protein shake!

Thank u guys! Thanks LeanerLena! I hadn't thought of the keurig cups...I'll try to give it another week before I try...

Another question - do u find yourselves wanting to eat a bunch of times? I eat very little, but I feel like I should be eating something 24/7...like I get anxiety about it...is this normal? Will I get past this? It's almost like I feel scared sometimes...

I was allowed coffee right ater surgery. As long as you dont get acid reflux you should be fine. Coffee is now my drug of choice.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
