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?

      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.
