From this forum I see that different surgeons tell us different things.

I drink 1-2 cups of coffee. My stomach does fine. Nutritionist says 1 cup fine and to add nonfat milk powdered or to add Protein drink as creamer....I still like the International Hershey's Creamer (my downfall but I'm ok with this for now). If I feel that this is a stumbling block, then I will take it out of my daily routine. As it gets hotter outside, I'll probably get away from the coffee...I try to drink more Water too.

My surgeon had me give up coffee until 6 weeks post op so that my stomach wouldn't be irritated. I drink 1 cup in the morning and occasionally have another one in the evening, but that's the extent of my caffeine consumption.

Most physicians tell you to stop drinking coffee due to the fact it is a diaretic and they want to make sure your getting enough Fluid prior to drinking.

I drink probable 12 oz a day I'm 4 weeks post op have little restriction due to no fill yet and have no problem but I also drink over 60 oz of Water a day. Everyone is different though

I, too, drink the sf vanilla iced coffee at McD's...but 120 calories sounds awefully low. I watch them put the cream in and it's quite a bit. Besides, I drink a large! Gotta love my iced coffee!

I'll check McD's nutrition chart.

I was on the website and there's nothing there about a sf vanilla iced coffee...

Oh they have it alright. I've asked for vanilla flavoring and they always ask whether I want regular or sugar free.

I think it's kind of new, it may not yet be on the website, or even on their nutrition list.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
