I Had A Cup Of Coffee...feeling Horrible



Recommended Posts

I finished a cup of coffee about 30 minutes ago and now i feel dizzy and lethargic. I didn't see anything about not having coffee and I even put some Protein Powder in it. I make 1 week sleeved on tomorrow. I think I need to lay down for a while and sip on Water. This is an awful feeling. Coffee is officially off of my list!!! :nonod:

Probably a good idea... My surgeon said no coffee period for one month, and no caffeinated tea for a month. I'm assuming it was caf?

I also was not allowed caffeine for a month. Just tried a cup a few days ago and no longer like it. That was a shock!

I'm not suppose to have any caffeine either. I also think it makes us hungry. IDK LOL ;)

I'm surprised your Dr ok that one. My Dr said no to that for awhile. Especially if it was caffeinated! I would urge you to eliminate from diet all together as there is no redeeming quality to it anyway :) Water water water

My surgeon also told me to avoid coffee any any othe caffinated products. I was told these will irritate your sleeve and on the off chance that it does not irritate your sleeve, caffeine is a stimulate which will often promote feelings of hunger even if your sleeve is satisfied and you're not hungry which can ultimately lead to over eating. That alone was enough for me to totally avoid anything with caffeine.

Ok so I laid down and sipped Water and I feel better. Maybe I missed that section of my post op diet information. I needed the boost to catch up on schoolwork from being out with surgery. Boy did I pay for that. Don't try this at home kids. I learned from this mistake.

Definitely no caffeine (my doc said for six weeks). I started drinking Decaf coffee at six weeks and it really hurt my stomach. Curiously, regular coffee does not, so I switched back, but can only handle 1 cup per day and often can't finish it. On the flip side, caffeine-free herbal tea sits great with me but black tea kills my stomach even now at 5+ months out. If you can't kick the caffeine habit, at least wait a couple months before you give it another try.

        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
