Coffee?!

Is coffee bad after being sleeved?

[CassieWNY 100]

My surgeon recommends no caffeine post-surgery. Saying that, I do know several sleeved people who do continue to have caffeinated coffee. I suggest trying Clik Coffee....it has Protein and there is a Decaf. One of my sleeve buddies adds a mocha Protein to her decaf Clik every morning and froths it up. She says it is scrumptious. I just have the vanilla Latte one....there is some caffeine and I have about 4 oz.

Best of luck on your journey!

It honestly varies. I was cleared for coffee 6 weeks post op and I drink it with no problems. I drink a tall nonfat cafe misto from Starbucks everyday. Some NUTs will tell you no coffee at all because it can irritate your stomach. Mine said it was fine

I mix about 1 tbsp of instant espresso powder (dissolved in a little warm water) into my Protein Shake every morning. I add 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup of skim milk & a scoop of either vanilla or chocolate Protein Powder & shake it up in my Blender Bottle. It's yummy!

I was allowed coffee with Clear Liquids. My name is Ashley- and I am a caffeine addict. Yep- I said it. I've transferred my prior dr pepper addiction to now I drink coffee in the morning and I have tea some during the day.

Look at my topic "Help with Starbucks" for some great ideas on what to order from folks on this site...It was real helpful to me..I an 21 weeks out from surgery, and did not have caffeine until about week 16 or so. It is medicinal for me..I am a nurse practitioner, and work a crazy combo of days/nights, and NEED my caffeine fix! I have not had any ill effects from it, and consider it my indulgence..I don't do candy bars or bags of chips anymore, but I sure do treat myself almost daily to a good coffee drink, either iced or hot, depending on my mood...i do know that early on, however, lots of folks warned me that caffeine would make me hungry, that's why I steered clear of it until i had almost gotten to goal. Now that I am at goal, I feel a little better about letting myself enjoy the "high test" my husband calls it!
