Hi all,

I'm three days post op and getting better by the hour. I even made it to a baseball game today! Yay me!! My question is about coffee. I know I can have coffee on the clear fluids stage so does that mean I can have starbucks lol?? I don't mean anything crazy but I could go for a fat free vanilla latte! Anybody try this. Or even an iced coffee. I am getting tons of Water in haven't broke any clear fluids rules yet so I thought I would double check with the "experts". Thanks for your help!

I started drinking iced Decaf coffees with skim milk and Splenda- fat free Creamer is better. Some days I have an iced decaf skim latte. Just take it really slow, small sips, and it will probably take you 2 days to finish a small. I'm finally free of caffeine's grip on me, so I'm trying not to go back there. I just love the taste of coffee!

On the diet sheets that my nutritionist gave me, it said no coffee (decaf) until Stage 4 (week 3). I agree with the caffeine grip - I'm going to try to not to go back to it, but somehow French Vanilla Decaf just doesn't make it. I'm also finding that after three weeks, I'm really not missing it that much. You may want to stay away from the lattes in the clear liquid stage.

Good luck!

Hi! I was banded on June 23rd. 2 hours after surgery, I was brought my lunch tray. Included on the tray was Sanka! My doc said that I could have Decaf coffee (with skim milk and splenda).

I'm six weeks out and have been drinking alittle 1/2 caff in the morning. I know, I know... But, it's my only vice I have left! I have 2 little ones and don't get the sleep I should. Haven't had any trouble - in fact, it is soothing in the AM when the band is tight.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
