I waited a month. Now I eagerly drink my tall Americano every morning with cream. I'm

Not able to drink the whole thing but those first few sips are lovely.

I have a terrible habit of Cuban coffee or triple shots of espresso...so one drink a day would be terrible...lol

Lol I don't see what the big problem is as long as you're staying hydrated.

Ya know,

You would think with all of us having the same surgery, the surgeons could get together and decide what's what!

Sheesh! :wacko:

My surgeon has as strict no caffeine rule. My choice through all this is to work my sleeve the way my doctor and his team has directed. So I have already given up caffeine so I am not going through withdraws afterwards. Maybe once I know I can keep up my hydration well I will consider it...lol

i'm allowed to drink coffee with just milk, and i'm only three days post op. i believe it has to be Decaf, though. it's weird to see how everyone's surgeons have different opinions.

My doctor told me a minimum of 3 months. I may be saying this wrong but from what I got of it he said the coffee pulls the blood away from your stimach and you need kore blood there while healing. I couldnt handle it anyways until a little after 4, and I am 5 months out now and its still rough

I did not give up caffeine because I work overnight and can't live without it. I did change to Avitae Water from diet coke. I miss my diet coke but this is just water with some caffeine in it! I drink like 2 a day and regular water the rest of the time. I don't like coffee so no problem but I feel for you guys that do!

      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.
