The issue I have with coffee, as I sip it while I write this, is that we have to keep our water up. My doctor said the main reason they say no to coffee at first is bc of the whole water issue. I'm being so bad bc I need the caffeine, am in a total stall and I know it's bc my fluids are not even close to where they shld be. Not drinking out of a straw is killing me bc that's how I always got my water in-downing tons of water with one of those reusable cups with a straw. [emoji20]

I use a straw. It really helps me. I told my MD and he said as long as it doesn’t increase gas in stomach and cause pain it’s fine.

I get 4 shots espresso in large cup filled with ice. Pour 11oz protein drink over it. I use ready made premier protein. I like caramel.

My go-to drink is their iced green tea, unsweetened -- or, sometimes, the strawberry green tea infusion, also unsweetened. Whatever little natural sugar there is from the strawberry infusion doesn't bother me; I eat fruit all the time.

Nitro Cold brew cascarra?

All good ideas, but for the soft food stage don't forget egg bites. They were wonderful when I was hungry on the go, still like them.

Starbucks are everywhere and they saved me a few times. There are not a lot of convenient options for soft foods on the go.

Oh man- so sad to see the sugar in the lemonade! My favorite pre-op was a black tea lemonade sweetened with stevia.

I do their egg bites and their cheese/fruit box. I am not allowed fruit now but my husband or a coworker eats it.

I cant do their drinks any longer. All of the conditions I have tried are incredibly weird tasting to me. My friend works for Starbucks so he has literally made me every drink possible lol

I mean no disrespect...I ask solely out of confusion...
My surgeon and nutritionist stressed that coffee (regular and decaf) would be off the table for me forever if I wanted to take the best care of my sleeve. Not because of caffeine but because the acid in coffee is corrosive and if something were to go wrong, there’s not enough stomach to work with. They started weaning me off my three mugs a day weeks before surgery so I wouldn’t have headaches after surgery.

Did no one else get this info/scare?
