My doc said NO CAFFEINE EVER! Luckily for me, I have been caffeine free for four years. :-)

I still haven't. I can also sleep through the night and have no issues falling asleep now. I had terrible insomnia my whole life. Darn caffeine.

Chike makes a very yummy Protein iced coffee ...that being said all doctors and NUTS seem have different ideas on this..I was told as long as I drink that much extra Water as coffee....for 8oz coffee I drink I need to drink 8oz of water in addition to my 64 oz a day

It took me almost 5 months to try caffeine again... but once I did, I became hooked! Even more so then before surgery. I would find myself drinking coffee Water and Protein all day and not eating!! I am still like that on certain days... so I am currently working on backing off of the caffeine.. I think it has slowed my weight loss down.. and I just keep trying to tell myself that coffee makes me fat.. as im sipping on a cup right now... lol its a hard one for me to cut out... but I def think that if you havn't picked it back up... don't! I wish I wouldn't have anyways.

lol I honestly don't believe it does... I just want to quit it... so I tell myself that. I do think that it slows down my metabolism and it makes me bloated.. but that is the way my body handles the caffeine lately.

      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.
