My surgeon recomended "Major Dickinson's" Decaf blend...the brand is Peet's coffee. I used that before and after surgery, it did help and didn't have that weird decaf taste. Stick to your plan, you will be surprised at how fast 6 weeks go!

I waited a couple months.....but it was on after that.

I drink the cowboy shyt out of it now.

In a "Brokeback Mountain" kind of way? :)

None of that action for me, thank you for offering, though.

Hetero coffee fiend, here.

That action is not for me either. No offer to you except to maybe buy you a cup of coffee.< /p>

Is Decaf OK? My plan allows decaf and highly recommends staying off caffeine permanently. I've been caffeine free for two months, and I'm doing pretty well at this point. I still forget and order regular sometimes (the people behind me in line love getting my mistakes).

I had Decaf coffee on my tray in the hospital.

I started cold brew coffee (lower acid) at 6 weeks, and I had it warm or cold.

Coffee doesn't dehydrate you, that is a myth.

I started having an equal mix of cold brew coffee using Trader Joe's Low Acid French Roast or Folger's Simply Smooth and Fairlife milk about 10 days post-surgery when I was given the green light for it. I then gradually altered the ratio so it was more coffee and less milk. It actually made me feel heaps better rather than worse. I also would have the Chike coffee flavored Protein powder.

In the early days, I added a spoonful of instant coffee and sugar free Torani caramel Syrup to ice, vanilla Protein powder, and a little skim milk (or water). Blend it up, Protein frappuccino.

I waited until a few months out for the real thing, but I drink it every morning now :) worth the wait. Glorious coffee!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
