I suggest giving up coffee during your preop diet. I am having horrible headaches after my surgery yesterday and I am assuming its coffee withdrawal

Isn't that what the Percocet is for?

My program allows Decaf coffee immediately post-op and caffeinated coffee after the three month check up. I had a hard time with plain coffee at first and drank it with soymilk for the first year. I drank Soy Latte or made instant with Soymilk instead of Water. I can drink coffee and espresso again now and really enjoy it.

Prior to surgery on 10/31/12, every single day II drank AT LEAST 4 Diet Pepsi's, a glass of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay, and 3 cups of coffee--with about 1/2 cup of milk froth and sweetner.

I gave up the Pepsi's and the Chardonnay cold turkey with no problems. However, I couldn't / wouldn't give up my coffee!!

So every day beginning with my first day out of the hospital, I've continued with my coffee. The only things I've changed is that I drink 2 cups, instead of 3, and I use 1/2 Decaf and 1/2 regular. I don't notice any difference in the taste.

I should also mention that I haven't had any problems with acid reflux and have been able to pretty much anything I've wanted once I moved to the regular diet.

Oh and I've lost 30 lbs since my DOS.

I used to drink a lot of coffee before my surgery but I stopped like 2 months before my surgery date. Today I am over 4 weeks post op and I have been craving for coffee all day. Is it ok to drink Decaf coffee?

any coffee lovers out there?

So I just came back from my first pre op visit with my surgeon and Nut and I asked them about regular coffee they said its fine we even joked that drinking decaf coffee is an insult to coffee... I just had a tall Starbucks Skinny Latte today I assure you it's perfectly safe.

Right??? I rather not drink any coffee than drinking decaf!!!! Lol when is ur surgery?

The only watch out is that caffeine thins the lining of the stomach...like NSAIDs and such. Even without acid issues, it is not a good idea to drink too much caffeinated anything. I alternate between Decaf and caf. I look at it as I am drinking 1/2 the caffeine that I used to. Actually even less as I no longer drink soda. My doc recommends decaf only and never as a sub for Water. coffee actually dehydrates you...so it is something to think about carefully when considering your new anatomy and the need to keep the stomach ulcer free

I asked my doctor , surgeon , nut and all 3 said coffee is fine doesn't have to be decaf and it doesn't effect lining it does cause acidity in some people but that's about it. I tried to google if regular coffee have any side effects on sleeve and I couldn't find anything .

Chike has a Protein plus energy shake that has two shots of espresso in it. It's delicious! I have it every morning. It's only 130 calories and has 20 grams of protein. You can get it at Celebrate Vitamins, Amazon, or chike's website. It comes in packets :-)

Same info I got. And apparently the diuretic effect is also debatable according to my NUT. Everything in moderation, including moderation

I think they are ok. I don't see why not. However, I generally add coffee mate coconut creamer to my coffee that is not SF. Usually just a tbsp or so, but it really tastes good in my morning coffee. Gotta be alert to how much is used because higher calorie.

[HopeFaith 15]

I use both, one day sugar free caramel Macchiato and the next day - ONE teaspoon of cinnamon bun (fully loaded) creamer. But the base is non-fat half and half creamer at 20 calories. Be careful of calories (and some people caution us on carbs too).

I am 6 weeks out and have a sugar free, skim, Decaf latte a couple times a week with no problems.
