I love my coffee



Recommended Posts

I love coffee as well, but have done my best to limit it to one cup a day now... sometimes two if it is a really hard day.

Awe, the first time I could enjoy a good cup of coffee was last week and I am so happy. The funny thing is I used to drink 3 cups a day now I only drink 1/2 to 1 cup a day and I am very satisfied!!

I'm drinking Decaf. My doctor said no coffee for 4 months so that is what I'll do.

Luv my coffee. I could drink coffee from sun up to sundown. I usually just use a splash of sf Creamer, but occasionally I enjoy a sugar free fancy drink from the local coffee house. Last week, I ordered a "lo carb/lo calories" frozen mocha from a new coffee place. So yummy. An hour later, my stomach was cramping. Badly. Felt like after eating an Atkins bar. For about 2 hrs I was running to the bathroom.

So for experimental sake, I ordered another today, wondering if it was the drink. It is. My stomach is currently cramping. Must be sorbitol in it (same as Atkins uses). I can use Splenda, Nutra Sweet and Saccharin but not sorbitol. Guess no more yumminess for me...

While I CAN drink unlimited coffee a day, I usually keep it to about 2. The 30 calories from the sf creamer can add up quickly. Other than the hidden calories and dyhydration factor, not sure why coffee is out for alot of drs. My dr said I can drink moderately, he wouldn't take away all my vices...thank God!

Good luck and enjoy ur coffee!!!

      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.

      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!
