I believe if memory serves me well (previous avid coffee drinker here) coffee is too acidic and will irritate the new stomach. It also may cause acid reflux.. I follow a few sleevers on insta( they're about a year out) and drink coffee from Starbucks Peet's etc mix coffee in their premiere protein which I tried on the preop diet and bleh.. chat with your dr see what they recommend! Good luck![emoji256] Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

When I started full liquids creamy soups were totally ok. Just be careful if lumps. My sister made me a potato soup (a treat cause of the carbs) and I just whipped it through the blender and had that for a few meals. It was ok by my dr. 😁

I drink my protein in the morning only when I walk. I have unflavored and I mix 2 scoops for 50 grams of protein because I just don't like to drink it all day. My meals vary like yesterday I had 12 Cajun steamed shrimp from Captain D's and today I had a 8oz Michelina's dinner I split up for breakfast and dinner....and it's 9g protein.... I've had people think I don't eat but I just follow the rules I eat 4 oz per meal and I drink anything but carbonated drinks.... I like a sweet tea every few days but I drink lots of water

Surgery was yesterday and I was scheduled a gastric bypass , but because of the scar tissue from my C-section 24 years ago . After my Dr.removed as much scar tissue as possible he was unable to perform the bypass. The sleeve was done and I feel 😊 hopefully I hold the water down so I can get to go home😜😂

I had the lap band in 2010 and just had it removed last week. Before the removal he took all the fluid out and I gained 40 pounds just like that. So I am going with the sleeve and November I agree if you go with the sleeve and you're still not happy then you can go to bypass but you can't go to the sleeve after you've bypassed. I had a friend that had gastric bypass and she didn't follow the rules and ended up having all sorts of health issues and dumping syndrome it just seems like too severe surgery to me. But I guess it all depends on you your health how overweight you are Etc Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

I had sleeve in 2011.Then had severe gerd.Had bypass in Nov 2016.I would just have bypass.If you have sleeve chances are you will need bypass later.

Best of luck to you in whichever path you end up on.

Hi I am 2 weeks post op and I am walking 2 miles but afterwards I am so exhausted. So today I only walked 35 minutes instead of 48 and I am still totally exhausted. My Dr. said to walk 1/2 hour in the a.m and 1/2 hour in the p.m. Does anyone else have this issue with energy?

Not much has been done other than IV fluids with vitamins. Protonix and Pepcid seem to be all she receives. She has had endoscopes and CT scans. All we are told is normal. No apparent strictures. Could it be GERD or horrible reflux??? As for food she was taking in broth but hasn't been tolerating that well. She is keeping down some water and coconut water. We were at the ER again last night. Blood work was normal. How can this be??? Imaging show nothing wrong. Labs show not much but lower than normal levels. That is treated with basic IV fluids. All I can say is she is describing pain that sounds excruciating. She is vomiting all the time. Every follow up appointment she was in the hospital. The surgeon did see her. Thank you so very much. Bless you[emoji4]
