Why caffeine free



Recommended Posts

Does everyone's surgeon have only de-caffinated coffee on their allowed food list initially? Over the years, the FDA has found problems with different chemicals used to decaffinate coffee so I would prefer to stick with the real stuff. I don't drink tons - at most 2 cups a day.

I would really like to mix coffee with my morning shake for an iced coffee but I don't want to buy Decaf if it isn't essential.

Any input is appreciated.

I don't have to do decaff, or at least I don't think I do. Isn't that the same thing? But I think I read somewhere that caffine causes stomach churn. but then again, I could be making up that part.

I talked to my Doctor about it and he said regular coffee is fine. There is a thread on here somewhere about it. I drink coffee everyday, couldn't get along without it! :(:D:D

My doctor says we can drink coffee, it doesn't have to be Decaf. However, ever doctor is different and there may be a reason why he/she is telling you that.

My doc says reg. coffee is fine. The only reason not to, he said, is if you already suffer from acid problems w/your stomach.

Caffeine causes dehydration but i mean if you drink Water anytime of the day its fine. and its with anyone banded or not that it causes that.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
