Can I have regular coffee?



Recommended Posts

I was told to limit my coffee intake, so I heat up a cup of milk in the microwave and then top it off with about 4 oz. of coffee. I get 8g of Protein and it tastes wonderful. Maybe it's just the hot beverage I needed, but I drink it first thing in the morning and again around 3. Wonderfully satisfying!

I drink it at least once a day with a pure Protein Shake and sf Torani Syrup mixed in! It's delicious! Like a fancy coffee from Dutch Brothers! Plus I get 30gms of Protein in each one! My NUT ok'd it for me! I have two on my weekends!

Oops just realized I already posted this comment! I guess I am really excited about it!

I didn't have coffee until 9 months out. The doctor and nurse said it could stress out the stomach and cause heartburn. After three month appointment they said you can try it. I didn't because I was over the withdrawals and didn't want to deflect from what I was doing.

A couple of weeks ago I was getting low on energy and decided maybe caffeine could help me out and it did. There was probably better things I could of done but now I'm back on the coffee train. Just be focused on your goals before jumping off into a different direction. Good luck.

My program allows for Decaf after the first three days, but no caffeine at all (coffee, tea or otherwise) for eight weeks following surgery. The NUT told us they didn't want us to have any caffeine until the sleeve is fully healed.

I think I'm ok to drink but I also know for sure that I am a recovering caffeine addict, the only time I feel a spike is when I have tea, and the food commercials and restaurants I pass don't phase me, it's when I walk into a store and see the energy drink aisles, especially convenience stores in the coolers, Monster, Red Bull, Starbucks, oh man I'm shaking lmao.......

my doctor said one cup of coffee with caffeine a day is okay( as long as ur keeping up with Water intake) ...but to make sure it's black or with alittle skim milk if anything. when I used to suffer from kidney stones and dehydration my urinologist used to say for every drink that's a diuretic, up your water by 8oz to cancel it out. hope that helps!

My biggest issue is that I love coffee with cream and sugar. I've tried drinking it with Splenda and can't. So I gave it up before surgery and haven't wanted the extra calories after. So, no coffee for me

I'm 2 weeks out from surgery and I had been drinking sugar free iced tea mixes in my Water. I didn't realize they had caffeine and I had horrible acid reflux even while taking the prescribed Pepcid. My instructions say decaffeinated coffee for preventing dehydration and acid reflux. Oops!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
