There are a lot of differing opinions on coffee. NUT had it as okay after 7 days, but we're also on a daily acid inhibitor.

My nut says it is the caffeine noy the acid but didn't explain completely. Since I am 7days post op, I am going to follow the rules...for now. I can do without coffee though I love it but I know we will dance again at a later date

My nut said caffeine pulls Fluid from the body and can cause dehydration. I say go for it, but make sure you up your Water to compensate.

She also said it's a stimulant and can make your digestion process speed up (so you're hungrier sooner and eating sooner). Consider decaf...

My program says no coffee for 3 months! I love drinking coffee on my way to work (I work 3 nights a week, so not a lot). And it has been so hard and my Keurig is so lonely lol. My surgeon said caffeine is a strong stomach irritant and can cause stomach pain. Just proceed with caution, let me know how it goes if you try it.

One of the first questions I asked my surgeon at our first appointment was whether I could still have coffee. He said to have it and enjoy it. Thank goodness, because that would have been a game breaker right there.

My doc said no coffee. Ever. :( I had some today and.... Was the most regular I've ever been. I don't really like it as much anymore. Since the sleeve Splenda and sugar free stuff grosses me out. Before I could eat sugar free everything. Bleck. Am I the only one?

      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.
