Coffee after weight loss surgery?

[Little Green 582]

coffee can also help facilitate bowel movements without resorting to laxatives.

There are pros and cons to almost every food we eat and while we need to be mindful of the potential for harm, frightening bariatric patients with risks that literally no surgeon, nurse practitioner, dietitian, or nurse has ever spoken a word of to me (nor to many others, clearly), and that I have not come across once in my obsessive, voracious reading of both lay and scientific literature about bariatric surgery and related dietary requirements in the last three years, seems a little silly.

Plus it makes me happy. We grind our Beans fresh every night before programming the coffee pot and I usually send a few seconds just sniffing them and reveling in the delicious smell. Ahhhh.

After surgery, coffee made my stomach too acidic so I added a lot of skim milk to coffee when I drank it. It helps so much with the acidity. I drink Decaf since it isn’t a diuretic like caffeine.

Again, caffeine is not a diuretic. Science says so. For a week or two when you haven’t been drinking it you will rid yourself of an extra ounce or two, that’s it! And once you are drinking it regularly it’s not one at all.

It’s an urban myth. Here’s the link to the science that shows proof—

I do coffee all the time mixed with Protein in the mornings since im not always hungry and need Breakfast. I hated the taste of cofee before that so the idea of Decaf to me seems pointless.
