When did you start drinking coffee?
pewpewpewpew replied to ChristinasSleeveStory's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
2 weeks out i started with iced decaf then after another 2 weeks i went to half-caf. Now i have either a small half caf or full caffiene. my nutritionist said a cup of coffee a day was fine as long as i made sure to drink equal or more h2o to make up for Fluid loss. -

Who Was Your Gastric Sleeve Surgeon
pewpewpewpew replied to boredswfl's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Dr. Ozanan Meireles at Massachusetts General Hospital. I had to go through their Weight Center but it was well worth it. -
sounds like you are dehydrated. if Water is an issue-try sugar free popscicles and sugar free additives for water. i am 4 months post of and i still struggle with getting enough water. :/

Tomatoe soup? Postop diets.
pewpewpewpew replied to dccarite's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
the first day after surgery i was on clear liquids. then for the next 2 weeks i was on clear and full liquids. i did tomato soup with unflavored Protein powder mixed in. after 2 weeks post op i was able to add in whatever i felt my body was ready for as long as i paid attention to signals and such. -
i was told no more then 1 cup of coffee a day and to drink extra water to make up for it. i waited until i was a month post op to drink caffeinated coffee,

For Those Who Work, How long were you off?
pewpewpewpew replied to melvin5ft2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
2 weeks. it was the perfect amount of time. (i had 0 complications or pain after surgery) i went back with a 10lb lifting restriction for a month. Like Barry suggests..if your job is very physical-consider more time off. -

check with your doctor. my blood levels were elevated so i was put on 2 weeks of antibiotics and then 2 weeks after that i had surgery. they did do a test on my stomach tissue and found no h. pylori. you should be able to have surgery after the antibiotics. good luck!
