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!!!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
