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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
