As I sit here this beautiful and sunny Labor Day relaxing in my sunroom with my coffee, I have to ask....Will I still enjoy my coffee after surgery? Why is it that there is a no caffeine rule? What about Decaf coffee? I quit smoking a couple of years ago and coffee is my new vice. I really enjoy it and I think I'd be ok if it was decaf.

What are your thoughts? Do you still drink coffee?

I watched a YouTube video by a surgeon at a new Jersey clinic give post surgery eating advice..he said caffeine and coffee are fine bc coffee isn't carbonated. He did say to limit coffee intake. I've been drinking it and am still losing with no whacky cravings..

I'm sitting on the patio at Starbucks enjoying a SFVanilla hot latte right now

My NUT said one cup a day is fine. That's why mine is a venti. Well. The one I'll have tonight will be a venti, as well lol.

But I follow my NUT plan and such to the "T", don't have GERD, and exercise. If I want my dang coffee, I'm having it.

I gave up coffee during my pre-op two week phase. I have not had any since. Truthfully I don't miss it. I drank two cups every morning for the past 40 years and now I don't. I get up every morning and start my day without it. I can't believe how much time I spent every day for the past 40 years having an affair with that little cup of joe!.

The no caffeine rule is just after surgery.... How long depends on your surgeon. My surgeon allowed it after 2 short weeks. But that doesn't mean my sleeve was ready for it. When I tried it early on it made my stomach hurt and still can't drink it unless I get the low acid variety form Amazon(pure roast). Another thing I do is get fairlife milk and put the coffee drops in it. Makes a nice high Protein ice coffee. Most of us who want coffee find a way.

My surgeon allowed coffee as one of my clear liquid pre and post surgery. I am 6 days out and I mix 1/2 scoop of Isopure Protein with some cold vanilla Creamer and then pour that info my coffee. I'm thrilled because coffee keeps me "moving" if you know what I mean.

That's funny! I've a fellow bypass friend who literally make a concoction each and every morning- she's a school teacher and said it lasts her to lunch.

She uses one Premier Protein shake, a scoop of unflavored Protein, an equal amount of coffee to the premier shake, squirts in some SF Torini syrup- whatever her mood fancies that day- some SF FF sweet cream Coffemate and tons of ice. shakes it up and keeps it on her desk and drinks all morning.

That's a lot of work for a cuppa but a bariatric gal has to do what she has to do.

Love this! Can you find out how many grams of protein she counts for this? I think this is going to be my new habit ASAP!

Caffeine is a diuretic, so to much of it leaves us at risk for dehydration.. I am a nightshift nurse and neeeeed my coffee lol.. I have found that many kcup brands that carry half and half (caffeine/decaf) at dunkin and Starbucks, you cal also ask for half and half.. Everything in moderation I think

The surgery was great, no issues.. Pain was very minimum.. I hit a wall like day 5 bc I felt like I was starving all the time but Protein shakes were making me nauseas. I spoke to my nutritionist and with some trial and error, I created a Protein shake that works for me and is delicious, plus it's got 40g of Protein in it.. I freeze the extra shake into Popsicles and will snack on that.. It tastes like ice cream.

I want to lose about 80 pounds.

Starting weight 267.8

Weight before surgery 255.6

Today's weight 240.1

      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?

      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... :(
