Coffee... It's My One True Love



Recommended Posts

(Besides my gf, of course)

But seriously, I am coffee snob. I have the molecular diagram of caffeine tattooed on my arm, I have a dozen different machines/gadgets to make the sweet bean juice, and I roast my own.

I take my coffee very seriously. Obviously I can't be slurping it down like a mad man during the first few weeks post-surgery because I need to stay hydrated (caffeine isn't exactly conducive to that), but how soon did you guys start swilling the go-go juice again?

These words make my soul sing with joy. ;)

Ok, I MIGHT be over-exaggerating, but that's excellent info! Thanks!

Wow, by the looks of your tatoo you are a committed coffee connoisseur!! I was allowed to drink regular coffee again after my two week check up.

I was "allowed" at 3 weeks. I "allowed myself" at 6 days. Black, hot and yummy.

Haven't looked back- and enjoy too many each and every day, along with iced unsweetened sun tea- with lemon, of course

I'm 2 weeks out and am allowed to have caffeine but for any amount of caffeine i consume, I have to have the same amount of non-caffeinated beverage to stay hydrated :)

No desire since surgery I tried drinking a cup it gets cold. So I don't drink it anymore.

I was able to have coffee after two days. Watch the milk though - it may make u feel a bit sick in the tummy if you have too much. I have always liked my coffee strong - but even more so now. As such I limit to one strong coffee each morning as my 'treat' - besides I'd get the sack if I skipped it.

This one shocked me! I don't know why, but it did! My son is headed today to the NCAA headquarters in Indiana with 19 other students from University of Iowa. ( Did I mention how proud and excited I am for him??? He had to submit an application, write out essays, etc to be chosen from a pool of 1000 who applied!!! And he is a freshman!!!) They are spending the next 4 days there studying, learning, meeting with NCAA management, etc.

I'm sending this to him so he can ask about it there. Interested to find out how they monitor the athletes with caffeine consumption.

      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
