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.

      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.
