You need to seek help in the purging. This could cause permanent damage or death to you. One step at a time. You can do this-

I tried a regular and it felt like it was burning my pouch so I have steered clear since. I can drink Diet Dr Pepper though with no issues and I don't buy the decaf... I guess I should switch to Decaf on that though. I was never a big coffee drinker anyway though.

I've been drinking Decaf for over two years now. Keurig K-cups are the best thing to hit coffee ever. The transition from caf to decaf was painless.

Over here' date=' we're not told to avoid coffee at all! In fact it's on our diet sheets :-)[/quote']

I am in the u.s. and was told caffeine was fine too. No soda but coffee is fine.

They told me no caffeinated coffee for first 6 months... Reason given was that it can cause it make dehydration worse. I don't have it every day but occasional I will have a coffee and I don't feel guilty!

I did Decaf for the first couple months but now I'm back to regular. I drink a cup a day.

I switch back and fourth depending on if I need a buzz or not. Haha I must say, the K-cup Decaf coffee is delicious! No difference in taste at all.

I drink a cup of regular every morning. That is the only caffeine I do.

I switched to Decaf prior to surgery, actually because of other medical problems caused by caffinated coffee (irregular heart beats). I actually have a Kurig and use K-cups with my own decaf (too cheap to buy the pods), but also add vanilla Protein or chocolate protein to start my day with along with jump starting my metabolism. Once in awhile I'll get a decaf, non-fat venti latte at Starbucks, which has protein also, so MyFitnessPal tells me. Plus my pouch likes something warm the first thing in the morning. Doesn't care too much for something cold.

I too switched to Decaf before surgery. Took a long break from coffee after my surgery and juuust recently have I gone back to my daily cup of decaf coffee.

Keeps things going smoothly.

      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.
