I was told Decaf only for the first 2 weeks. I then went to regular coffee after the nutritionist told me that was fine unless I was having trouble getting my Water in. Absolutely no problems. Good luck!!

Ulcers were an early concern but it was found later that you are more likely to have ulcer problems with orange juice. The main thing is to watch the pee chart and make sure you are staying hydrated. One cup a day wont cause any problems.

So I remember my surgeon told me that after a few weeks I can have 1 cup of coffee but I keep reading that I shouldn't cause it causes dehydration and ulcers.. than I read people do it since day 1. So I am confused.

Each surgeons instruction may look different and may change over the years.

I was instructed not to have coffee in 2014. Now my surgeon's office allows it. Stop drinking it if it causes acid or upset stomach. Don't count your coffee as hydration for the day. Make sure you can drink your hydration requirement. Do you know what your hydration goal is? I think mine was 64 oz a day.

I think they want you to restrict it to Decaf if you do it (dehydration from caffeine) and also the acid in coffee might not agree with your stomach right away. I'm 5 weeks post-op and am drinking decaf coffee now and not having any problems.

I have coffee daily. In fact, I only stayed with Decaf the first week. I drink 16 oz of coffee every morning. I mix in unflavored Protein collagen and a tablespoon of Creamer. I drink it 30 minutes after my Premier Protein drink in the morning. My doctor has no issues with it and my body is happier.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
