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 ?

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.

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

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.

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 !!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
