My doc says no caffeine or carbonation because it irritates the stomach. I'm am going to have the hardest time giving up my diet coke... Ugh!

You shouldn't drink the diet coke because of the carbonation. It expands in your pouch and can be very uncomfortable. My doctor allows 2 cups of caffiene per day, coffee or tea. They do warn that caffeine can cause your appetite to increase. Fortunately I like de-caf. I am a big tea drinker.

Can someone tell me what the story is with caffeine? None? why? Thanks.

It was explained to me by my nutritionist that caffiene inhibits the absorption of Calcium. Now, I admit that right after surgery I did not drink it - I simply didn't want it - but now, almost two months later, I'm drinking about 1 to 2 cups in the morning. So... it's the one rule I am actively breaking.... so sue me :)

It's so funny. You'll soon find that alot of the doctors give different versions of this. Mine gave no restriction on caffeine or soda and I asked specifically. I don't know why but after surgery I didn't want any coffee anymore. Just recently, however I started getting into lattes. I LOVE them. Oh well. I stopped drinking soda before my surgery, maybe 6 months to a year before surgery. Just didn't like it anymore. I've recently craved it but havent had any. My doctor said soda is fine, but who knows?

My doc says no coffee because it's an appetite stimulant.

I find exactly the opposite to be true for me. When I drink my cup of coffee in the morning I don't feel like eating until about 11 am.

What can I say, it's all I have left!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
