I haven’t had any yet post RNY, I’m 2 weeks and 2 days out. The work day is hard to get through without a little caffeine kick!

When did everyone start having coffee again? Did it upset your stomach at all ?

I’ve been wondering the same thing.

My program says to wait 3 months before introducing caffeine. I do believe decaff was approved during the full liquid stage.

I think I'm just going to stay caffeine free. To be honest, I kinda feel better without it. I also don't miss all that diet soda either.

I am also staying caffeine free! I don't ever want to be a slave to caffeine ever again! I do miss diet soda.... ohhhh do I.... but I'm staying strong. Very very strong.

Cool! You can beat the Diet Coke addiction! If I can do it, anyone can.

I'm 5 months on the wagon... I hope I've beat it... but the cravings... HOW LONG DO THE CRAVINGS CONTINUE?

I'm 5 weeks without Diet Coke and I think I stopped craving it after 3.

I don't crave it everyday or anything. But I can salivate over seeing someone with a foam cup and straw. A polar pop in the morning was my fix... But I'm proud to say...no longer.

Your body will be thanking you for it for the rest of your life.

I gave up coffee about 7-8 months before surgery, then had it after (sleeve) surgery when it showed up on my hospital tray [emoji25]

I drink regular and decaf (makes no difference for me) with no problems handling it. Started caffeinated a week after surgery. There are low acid varieties also.

I miss beer and wine. I want to be able to have them again but my surgeon says only at 1 year post op. I will stick with that.

Also having alcohol in my present state of mind would not be a good thing at all.

For the hard core soda drinkers...lol

Liquid stevia cola drops. Many flavors to add to your water. Found these at my local health food store. You can also find them online.

My coffee fix was crushed ice, instant coffee (decaf) Hershey's sugar free chocolate syrup and vanilla protein powder. It was my morning drink.

Best of luck guys!

How king until you felt better without it? I would love to kick my Starbucks habit but it’s been years. I don’t miss diet soda at all but I do miss seltzer water - more than anything else !!
