I'm 34 weeks out and a coffee drinker both pre-op and post-op. I usually drink Decaf since the surgery but if I'm out and about and caffeinated is all I can get - I go for it. Haven't had any problems but I probably didn't have any caffeinated coffee for at least four months following surgery. I was quite worried about switching to decaf as I was not a big fan pre-op. But I drink Keurig coffee at home and their decaf is very close to being every bit as good as their caffeinated. I drink two to three cups a day with Splenda and flavored Creamers. Great "snack" or for dessert - low calorie, good for you (loaded with antioxidants) and filling. Highly recommended!

Hello. I am new here but wanted to jump in. I have read that caffeine can interfere with Vitamin absorption. If you google this question you will see there is a lot of discussion about this topic. I think everyone is different and if your lab work is ok then it probably is not an issue for you. Just wanted to put it out there. Personally, I have given it up and don't feel I need it. My Vitamins are more important to me!

I gave up caffeinated coffee. But the only way anyone is getting my Decaf is to pry it out of my cold dead fingers!! LOL!!

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
