I drink decaff when available like coffee and tea. I don't drink a lot of it anyway but if I do have it I order decaff. I've tryed caffeinated and I got the jitters really bad.

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!!

      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.
