Has anyone been told they could have a few sips of coffee in the morning? Any reasons why you could not? Thanks, Joleigh in NC:thumbup:

Mine told me no coffee/caffeen for at least 3 months. Think it is because it can irritate your stomach.

I am a big coffee drinker....My doctor said no coffee 8 weeks after surgery because coffee dehydrates you and for every cup you drink you need to drink 2 cups of Water. I dont know how Iam going to do it. I am doing the pre-op diet and already had m ycoffee for the day!

I was told coffee is a "free food" as long as I didn't drink it with sugar. I was also told that everything should be done in moderation and I don't want to get in the habit of overdoing the caffeine.

I really enjoy my coffee in the morning :0). This is especially true since I have given up diet pop.

I did stay away from coffee the frist few weeks post-op, I was banded 07/02. I have since in the past week or so been having one cup per day. I sent a email to my dietician and she told me one cup of a coffee per day wouldn't hurt at all so I don't feel bad about it.

I was banded on May 15th and I drink 1 cup of coffee every morning. I have done this since the day I came home from the hospital. And I have had no problems. I hope you too can continue to enjoy your coffee. As of today I have lost 39 lbs.:lol:

Hi, I was just banded on 7/24/08. coffee and tea is on my clear liquid phase list. I just can't have cream or milk in it, but the nutritionist said that non-dairy Creamer is fine. So I went out and bought some Coffeemate pronto! :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
