coffee is a diuretic therefore, you will have to increase your Fluid intake to avoid dehydration. I was a big coffee drinker prior to the sleeve and quit prior to surgery and soo glad. I don't miss it anymore and have Decaf if I must have it.

Good luck

Is soo true, I been out to eat with friends and I am like how in God's earth was able to eat that much and then some. I am so happy with my sleeve!

Hello!

I was sleeved on Sep 16th. I did great the first two weeks, for some reason I am struggling on my third week. I am hungry and craving real food. I am tired of the shakes and cannot have cream Soups as I am lactose intolerant. I am tired and do not want o do much. I am back to work and once I get home I am ready for bed. Is this normal? I am trying my best to keep my Protein intake not less than 50 grams per day. I have not lost weight in the last three days. I was weighting my self daily and not sure if I hit a stall.

Sorry I need to vent

PS hot do you add that tracker to your profile?

Hello,

I also had surgery two weeks ago. I am not sure you're supposed to be taking Ensure. I was told that is for people who have dietary deficiencies. You need to be on high Protein shakes that are low in calories and sugar. I am told need to consume 60 grams of Protein and drinks less than 14 grams of sugar.

I am still on liquids and have been taking the protein bullets at GNG 42 grams of protein. I sip that through the day and keeps me satisfied. Ensure was told a no-no.

The reason why you can't eat and drink is because Water or any other liquids push food down quickly from the stomach which will make you hungry faster. The point is to keep food in your stomach as long as possible to slow down digestion.

Hope this helps
