LIA 9 Posted April 13, 2013 I was a every day coffee drinker and I am now 8 wks out and haven't had a cup since surgery. Just don't have the stomach for it no more, LOL, (no punt intended). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newat52 1,613 Posted April 13, 2013 I was doing Decaf for about 3 weeks. Then I did half caf for a few days and now regular. I make one cup and usually drink about half. Good stuff. It makes me happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

asmaclare 38 Posted April 13, 2013 My surgeon discouraged it. Well he said none in the first 4 weeks and to be strict about it. But he encouraged me to stop all together if I was going a month without it anyway. He said if I must he wouldn't do more than 1 per day and to make sure that it's watered down or has a lot of skim milk in it. I don't know what I'll do. I love my coffee. I want to be healthy but I don't want to deprave myself of everything I enjoy I've never had problems with stomach ulcers or reflux, so I am thinking if the sleeve doesn't change that, I will go ahead and have my coffee 1 BuriedBombshell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newat52 1,613 Posted April 13, 2013 I fessed up to the NUT yesterday for my session. She said as long as it doesn't adversely effect you, such as are you getting all your liquids in? Does it set ok in your tummy? If so, a cup is just fine. For me, I am well over the 64 oz of liquids and have no acid reflux. I do take a chewable pepsid twice a day per my post op instructions. Another bonus is it helps me poop! I know TMI but it really does. 2 anniemay and Nicki13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newat52 1,613 Posted April 13, 2013 What's the issues with coffee? Just started back and my doc was ok with two cups a day if I must...and I must! Lots of different views but for the most part it has to do with the fact that it can act as a diuretic and keeping hydrated in the beginning is essential. Also, it can cause acid relfux. That is my understanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
