I was a heavy coffee drinker preop. But now dont care for it. I was also a smoker. I quit 2 weeks preop but still craved and cheated occasionally. Since surgery, cant stand the smell and have no cravings. Weird, but thankful.

I been drinking Decaf, , but not the instant kind. It actually is delicious I use skin milk and some flavored Creamer . I also just started to make ice coffee and been putting Protein Powder in it and its wonderful... I can get the Protein i need and it taste great. I am 4 weeks post op and still struggle with getting the requirements in.

I drank a lot of coffee before and still do. Only now it's decaf!!!!! I can't tell the difference once I got over the no caffeine thing.

I can't tell the difference either between Decaf and regular and I've been drinking coffee since the age of 5!!! I think it's mental!

I guess I'm the "bad girl" of the bunch. I do drink coffee every day. I used to drink a venti everyday and now I drink a tall. It's all I have room for but I do enjoy every sip. I love my coffee and I've done very well. Sleeved on 12/13 at 246 and I'm at 185.1 this morning.

Yes, I still drink caffeinated coffee. It is one guilty pleasure I really enjoy. I just don't drink near as much. I'm satisfied with a small cup now, maybe two cups.

At work I have my premiere Protein shake (30 gm protein) mixed with equal parts black coffee. it helps me get the Protein Shake down which I find disgustly sweet without the coffee.< /div>

I do the same thing! Love it!

My Breakfast is a shot of sugar free vanilla Syrup, 8oz of skim milk and six oz of cafinated coffee for a home made latte. I did abstain, and honestly I don't know the diff between caffeinated or not (I was never effected by caffein) but once my doc allowed it (at three months, but my term was longer because of complications) I went back to the regular stuff. It's easier because it's what everyone else drinks around here.

I use a kurieg (I think one is by them and the other machine is by cuisinart?) and do single servings. costco sells large boxes of them cheap. The Kurieg machine has no reservoir (kind of like the single cup ones you see in hotels now) and I have to say it preforms better than the much more expensive cuisinart machine. I have one on the top floor of the house and one on the main level so I tend to use whichever is handier, but for the bucks, the cheap K machine was a better choice than the Cuisinart, even without a reservoir.

I am totally addicted to the Atkins advantage cafe caramel shake. It tastes great!! Made with real coffee. Even add it to Decaf iced coffee sometimes if I feel tired. 15g Protein but I love it as a treat sometimes if I'm craving something sweet. I was a huge coffee drinker and now this would probably be the only one I really love. I can't finish a cup of regular coffee anymore. I uses to have up to 11 cups a day before.

      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.
