Coffee



Recommended Posts

There is the risk for ulcers, the sensitivity of the new stomach and most importantly it will dehydrate.

So I was told not to do full caffeine..BUT, if I do, I must make up the difference by drinking lots more Water to compensate.

I feel that I need some coffee to help me avoid Constipation. It seems to be the only thing that works- so I do a cup in the morning but try to drink lots of Water to make up for it.

I had surgery on Sept. 6th and was told at my 4 wk. appt. that it was OK to have some Decaf. coffee. I have been having a cup every morning for the past week and have had no problems.

I just discovered Click brand. It has both caffeinated and non caffeinated versions. After trying some really unpleasant drink options this week, I am really pleased with the taste. You can order a buy one get one free sample to see if you like them or not, which is very handy. The Protein is a little bit less than some of the other options, and the carb count is higher but it really does taste good.

      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.
