OMG you all made my day! I of course planned to ask my doctor at my first appointment this Wednesday but the presentation said something about it being bad for blood sugar levels.

Seriously- I can face my new eating lifestye happily if I can have my coffee! I drink it with a lot of milk.

OH HOORAY!

I was allowd coffee @ 5 days out, I use Truvia and non fat liquid Creamer or no sugar added french vanilla dry creamer. I'm 10 months out and have had no problem with it. Good luck on your surgery, you'll love the sleeve!!!

I have had such a hard time with the Decaf it tastes so different, I do buy and I trade off regular and decaf, because I heard about the ulcer thing too.. Either way there is nothing like a normal cup of coffee with some Fatfree FV or Hazelnut creamer....

I actually had the shakes in the hospital from caffeine withdrawal! I drank lots of iced tea every day before surgery. The doctor told me no caffeine for two weeks after surgery, but when I started shaking uncontrollably, they fixed me a cup of hot tea and it went away, so the doctor relented, and told me to just cut back to one or two cups a day. Odd thing is that since surgery I've made maybe, one pot of iced tea and that was it! It just doesn't do much for me anymore. I do have a cup of flavored coffee with a cup of milk and two sweet n low packets for Breakfast every morning with a few strips of bacon. I loves me some bacon! I'm still losing, too!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
