My surgeon okays coffee, even with real cream. He says he drinks coffee and understands the need for it, and doesn't poo poo it.

I usually drink two cups a day in the morning, sometimes three if it's a rough day. I'll have iced tea in the afternoon, sometimes.

But I also get in all of my Water, and my meals. I usually will drink my coffee before I eat my breakfast. If I need that extra cup, I have it around 10 am, which is usually an hour after I've eaten breakfast.

I was never told to go Decaf. As usual, follow your doctor's guidelines.

I'm a stone cold addict!! I drink coffe from the minute I get up until the minute I go to bed and have for years and years. Of coarse I stop before and after meals but as soon as the wait time is up the cup is full again. I do do decafe in the afternoon and evening but coffee is just one of those things I haven't been able to give up.

I drink three half mugs every morning, with a flavored coffeemate. Sometimes SF or FF, sometimes full sugar, full fat. I drink them 1/2 at a time cuz I drink much slower now and I don't like when it gets cold.

If I want more (not lately, it's too hot) I'll drink Decaf all day long.

I have one to two cups a day. My doctor says it is okay as long as I do not eat and drink.

My Dr's instructions say it's ok to drink coffee "as tolerated" According to the nut. they are concerned about irritation of the stomach that caffeine could cause.

I started drinking 1/2 regular and 1/2 decaff at about 2 weeks out, with lots of ff milk and splenda. I've found that I love iced coffee made the same way, in a big cup with lots of ice and I put a scoop of vanilla Protein powder in there too. Lasts all day, if I replenish the ice when it melts. Yummy!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
