not a very good idea so early on. as a general rule coffee is off limits for the first two months and sugar is a big no-no forever. But only your doctorcan give you answers particular to you in these matters

What is wrong with Decaf coffee? Why can we drink tea with sugar substitute but not coffee?

I am 4 months post op and have not had coffee yet since it was on my nono list for.6.months per my surgeon. Coffee is a dieuretic and pushes the Water out of your body so I recommend that you also drink another glass of water. Caffeine stimulates appetite and will tell you that you are hungry when maybe you are not. Be careful-very small amounts maybe go heavy on the milk? I do sugar in the raw in tea so I have fully swapped to tea in the AM if I need a caffeine lift. Good luck!

I have been drinking Decaf coffee since 2 wks. before my surgery with sugar-free coffee creamer. I don't use sugar but we are allowed to use truvia or stevia, also Crystal lite has splenda in it, so it is allowed by my doctor. I'm 2-12 months out and will ask my surgeon when I see him next week when I can go back to caffeinated coffee...I do miss it.

Please let us know what your doc says. I am curious. I get caffeine headaches so I think I'm going to just have a tiny cup of coffee anyway. I only drink 2 sips anyway and I'm full.

My surgeon didn't have any restrictions with coffee. It was actually on the list for the week of Clear liquids. after 2 or 3 days I had a cup every morning. I drank it black with spleda til the full liquid period started and then used fat free half and half. With the fat free half and half you need to measure and track the calories and include them in your daily intake.

Also, ----->> NO SUGAR<<----- none, zero, zilch. From here on out you really need to be avoiding all added sugar. Use a substitute. Once your use to it, sugar wont be missed.

You'll find that each doctor seems to have different advice regarding coffee, among other things. I was given clearance to drink Decaf coffee right away and regular coffee at 5 weeks. :)

I was able to have Decaf coffee right away. Each doctor is different maybe you call your doctors nurse and ask.

I was told no caffeine until 2 months post op. :( However, my NUT told me Decaf was okay after week 2.

      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.
