I've never had troubles with "warm" coffee, I've never liked it hot, the way my mom liked it... boiling hot. I've got a guy at work that will pour a steaming cup of coffee and then stick it in the microwave for 30 more seconds! :o

But if you are still in the 1st 6 months post-op, there are going to be many little things like this that will upset your sleeve. Things will return to normal a little at a time.

My 1st 2 weeks, I could not eat more than a teaspoon of food per hour. AT 30 days, I was mainly living off Cream of Mushroom Soup. At 6 months, I was still having issues trying to eat any vegetable other than Beans, lentils and squash. At 1 year, I could eat anything I wanted with very little difficulty.

Yes, I'm 7 weeks post. I have no problem whatsoever with anything except coffee. Hopefully that will change. :)

@@boosh10 , I'm 5 months out yesterday & although I used to start my am with hot coffee-2 cups at least (x 25 years), I still have no taste for it- @ALL! Weird. I have a cup of hot Decaf tea with milk(live in the northeast) to start & my am shake with trader Joes coffee concentrate- 3oz with Protein Powder, fruit ( us banana or frozen berries), 6 oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk & sugar free Torani Syrup. I wonder if that will change after next month?

Do you add cream or milk to your coffee? I was allowed coffee again starting at 30 days post-op, but was instructed to put a lot of cream or milk in it to help tone it down. Now that I'm 6 months out, I have no issues at all with coffee and have cut back to my normal amount of soy milk in it.

i could not live with out coffee..... i love it hot or cold. Growing up in the south, we start drinking coffee as babies.. no joke. But we call it "coffee milk".... of course it 3/4 milk and 1/4 coffee... but i started everyday with it. My grandma use to make our coffee milk, toast with Peanut Butter... and send us off too school.... True story

I fine drinking me helps me ... i know it sounds crazy.. but i feel it calms my stomach.

What kind of coffee are you drinking? Home brewed or something like Starbucks?

I grew up in Ohio, so definitely not the south, but I was drinking coffee for as long as I can remember. I remember ordering it at a restaurant once when I was about 6 and the waitress looked at my parents like "WTF??!?!" My dad literally put Pepsi in our bottles when we were babies, so I was hooked on caffeine from a VERY early age.

BTW, my parents are the best parents in the world, contrary to what this post might imply. ;)

Wow, not judging on the coffee. My granddaughter now age two has to have a cup of tea every night before bed. Not that Decaf crap, real tea with cream. It's thanks to her great-grandmother who started me in womb needing tea and passing it on. We do have it that she not allowed to have sugar in it...that is unless her "Nanie" makes it...driving my daughter and myself crazy.

I'm 13 days post op and have only had 1-2 cups of hot tea with stevia and whole milk, it's an adjustment. Couple sips of coffee didn't bother me...here's hoping????????????

Has anyone else tried Click coffee drink with Protein? I bought some off Amazon and I'm thrilled with it. The taste is divine and the fact it has 15 grams of protein in HOT coffee, yummy.

      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.
