I am drinking decaf..my surgical team said no caffeine for three months post op. I have found some great Decaf Beans I grind and it's taste is very close to caffeinated and so delicious, I may never go back to caffeinated.

What are you using? I'm trying to find something that will taste good with my keurig. I've have zero luck so far. I miss my coffee.

I had to switch to Decaf for my pre-op diet, but it is a clear liquid if you drink it black. I was surprised to find that they are going to allow me decaf after surgery as well. I was afraid I would have to stop it altogether. They said decaf for at least 6 weeks post op. I guess it will be up to my dietician after that.

I was told no caffeine two weeks pre-op and at one week post op I was cleared to have it again. Although I admit, I don't crave it as much and rarely drink a full cup in a day

I drink caffeine water! Yes they have it and you get the kick and it doesn't upset your stomach! It's called Avitae Water. You can get it from their web site Amazon or lots of stores across the country. GoAvitae.com I love it and I was a Diet Coke junky!

I'm buying it at Fresh Thyme Market..really tasty Decaf. They have a few different decaf blends.

I'm 16 months post-op and everything makes my stomach a bit upset. If I drink Water I get a little burp up going on. It's worth it though, but I still drink regular coffee and wine.

I'm a coffee addict. I was told that caffeine in large quantities can be dehydrating but in moderate amounts is fine. In order to balance things out I just don't count my coffee as part of my liquid goals, although I was told it does count - in moderation.

What's "moderation" when it comes to coffee? Right now I'd be happy with being able to have a cup but figured I'd definitely wait at least 2weeks.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
