I’m 8 weeks out now. Can I have a coffee yet?



Recommended Posts

I’ll be 8 weeks on Thursday and I should already know this but I don’t. Can sleevers have coffee at this point? I’ve heard yes & no but wasn’t paying attention to when or at what point from surgery.

((hugs)) I got decaff on day 2 as part of clears. Think it really depends on decaff v. caff. But it may be diff for sleeve v. rny?

Hang in there my friend!

I was able to have Decaf right after surgery. That's what I drink anyway (caffeine is like crack in my system).

I had coffee right away too and used Monk Fruit sweetener while I was healing. They worry about letting us have it too soon bc of the acid as well as being a diarrhetic so just drink an extra glass of water!! 8 weeks out you shld be totally fine

T!

YES!

I was drinking decaff the first week after surgery, day 2 after surgery. I wasn't supposed to drink caffeine for a month out, but I hate teh taste of decaff coffee. Yuck.

But so I drank regular coffee a week out, until now

I not only lived. I didn't get dehydrated

There are some rules that are put in place "just in case" but you should be fine

The reason for the decaff instead of caffee, is bc caffeine tends to make you pe more, and they are afraid you'll become dehydrated since you can't drink as much liquids right after surgery

Enjoy!

I am 7 weeks out and started drinking Hazelnut Decaf about two weeks before surgery and still LOVE it. I don't know that I really need to go back to regularly coffee. I was told it was OK to have caffeine in VERY small amounts.

Check your binder! It’s in there, and it’s your Bible!

Mine allowed me to drink 8 oz of Decaf as soon as the liquid phase. My bariatric cookbook included a recipe for a frappe-type drink that used decaf.

My program gives the green light to regular coffee six weeks out, but warns that it may trigger hunger.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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
