Caffeine....coffee



Recommended Posts

didn't, haven't, won't. Take my food away, take away my booze and beers, but caffeine, sorry ain't happening. My surgeon signed off when he saw that look in my eye that pretty much said...don't even try to go there.

Well.....thanks! Lol. Because I do feel THE SAME WAY. Especially today being my first day of liquids (pre op) and all of a sudden I'm just like so why did they even tell me I couldn't have coffee? ?

difficulty cutting out coffee

MB1217

the one thing we all have in common is that we are all different -

check with your dr/nut - some drnut says no coffee at ALL (OMG)

others say 1 cup - others might say????

maybe Decaf? ???

i can have one cup a day - lluv it :)

do what ever your NUT tells you (regarding anything)

good luck :)

edit - John - too funny :lol:

My Dr. said he does not like coffee because of the reflux it may cause. Told me to try and if no issues, then it was fine. I have no issues with it but am not a big coffee drinker - about 2 cups in one week.

I drank de-caf w/ splenda and fat free sugar free Creamer pre-op. I waited till about 2 months post op, and was cleared for all foods, and my doc ok'd regular coffee. I drink a 16 oz cup w/ splenda almost every day.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I've been told no caffeine, no coffee-- but it has been a struggle. Kind of like what was said before, for everything that I'm not consuming, I'd like to be able to have a cup of regular coffee.< /p>

i never stopped drinking coffee. I count the calories and the carbs of the creamer I use because I don't like it black but other than that I have continued on with my little habit.

We're you ever told to stop? Because i was and I guess I have just been trying to follow things as best as I can-- but letting the coffee go doesn't seem to be happening. I guess I also just wanted to be sure that it won't have an adverse effect if I don't stop completely.

Isn't that weird! My tastes are pretty much the same but coffee is different I drank it everyday BLACK and loved it!

I did cut it out the first few months.. But now I mix Decaf and regular Beans 50/50

But I have to add milk and sweetener to it now to taste good! O_o

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
