I also used it a LOT before my sleeve. It irritated my stomach a little then, so I suspect it would totally tear me up & make me miserable now at 3 1/2 months post-op.

I've only recently added back small amounts of coffee. My NUT wanted me to cut all caffeine for 6 months because it is known to irritate the stomach lining. She knows that I added some coffee (mixed with vanilla Protein shake) and is ok with that as long as my tummy tolerates it.

I'm hoping when I lose a significant amount of weight I will naturally have more energy from not carrying the equivalent of another person around and won't feel the need for a bunch of caffeine!

I have lost a lot of weight and so much energy but no matter how much you loose. 4 to 5 hours of sleep is not enough. Sometimes that just happens and I have to make it up somehow.

      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.
