teambarbie 14 Posted October 31, 2013 Was told no coffee, I keep reading it, but I have yet to understand why. 1 Astaze75 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaDM 194 Posted October 31, 2013 What I have been told is because it irritates the stomach. coffee or really caffeine isn't great for a normal stomach. I guess it's worse on a sleeve. I don't plan to give up coffee forever, but certainly for a few months while my stomach is still healing. I was never a big coffee drinker, just one cup on weekdays before work or occasional Starbucks latte. I will probably go more with just an occasional coffee. 1 Momonanomo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
donewithdieting 44 Posted October 31, 2013 Lisa is right above. I am now 2 years out and drink about 5 cups of regular coffee w/ powder Creamer. OCC. stomach will tell me not to have that much. Most of the time no problem. But, of course everyone is different. Linda 1 Momonanomo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted October 31, 2013 Yes it's acidic plus it's a diuretic so it can get you dehydrated easily in the beginning when you can't take in much liquids at once.. That being said I do drink half regular half Decaf now, but I didn't have my first cup until about 4 months out 3 Carlotta, Momonanomo and nepagirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJ'S/beginning 5,358 Posted October 31, 2013 It is considered not a good idea for the first while until you get the intake of Water under control..coffee or anything with caffeine is a diuretic and so that is part of the reason they are a no no for the first while.....

LoryLosesXS 154 Posted October 31, 2013 Was told no coffee, I keep reading it, but I have yet to understand why. My dietician told me that it can dehydrate you. I believe it from the years of seeing a trainer before gaining weight. Our tummies are tiny and we need to stay hydrated. coffee does the opposite. It was hard for me to give up my addiction to caffeine. I went through a 3 day detox. I decided to buy some wonderful teas from Teavana that are caffeine free. Now it's the ritual of my morning hot tea. Plus it counts as liquid intake. :-) 1 GoldyGirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldyGirl 186 Posted October 31, 2013 also, your tummy is gonna be so small, you don't have room for coffee. If you feel your stomach with coffee, you will not be able to get in your Protein.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJL 222 Posted October 31, 2013 I ask my doc before I had surgery if he was going to take away my morning cup o' joe and he told me just for 3-4 weeks after surgery. I'm over 5 months now and have been having my 1 cup of coffee in the am. since about 2 months out, it has never given me a problem, but I make sure to get enough other liquid in to compensate for it.

HardWork13 83 Posted October 31, 2013 Almost 2 weeks out, my nut said a cup of coffee is OK as long as getting Water in. I tried Decaf today and have awful heartburn. Won't be doing that again anytime soon!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
