Caffeine?

I was sleeved on April 5 and have not had any caffeine since.

I'd love to have a latte now and then, not like I used to (daily). Maybe as a treat once or twice a week.

My nutritionist told me I could have it if I got my 64oz of Water first for that day. I'm really cautious about something messing with my stomach in the long term.

What have you been told about caffeine? Do you still have it?

    I have tons of coffee -- caffeine will not dehydrate you (fn), no worries there. But be very careful of all the extra calories in a latte. That's what would worry me about it, not the caffeine. Also,

    I have all the caffeine and coffee I want. I just make sure I don't load it up with calories. Try low acid coffee, cold brewed coffee is the best. And cold brewed is not the same as iced coffee

Goes anyone know what they check for in your last blood test? My surgery is in the morning, July6th!!!! I also found out if you loss 15%of your pos-op. Weight,if you weight 289,you will need to loss 14 lbs.

I was off pre op, but wasn't given any restrictions post op. I was warned that it could irritate my pouch, so I waited three months.

As long as you stay away from heavy cream and sugar, calories should be minimal. I do a medium iced coffee at Dunkin with milk and splenda. It's about 40-50 calories.

Used to be about a 3+ cup a day coffee drinker pretty much daily. All types - dark, blonde, Columbian, etc. and the only type that would upset my stomach was Starbucks Breakfast Blend. Post surgery, it's the other way around. Finding that more types of coffee upset my stomach than don't.

Just this week (one month post op) however, I've found a blend that does wonders. I drink just one small cup per day with very little cream and about a teaspoon of sugar and as long as I drink it over about a 30 minute timeframe, gives me exactly what I need bright and early. :)
