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.

      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.
