Way everyone I'm 12 days post op and my food plan says no caffeine . I've been doing fine in Decaf but am wondering when I can have it again. Mostly I miss my ice teas...

Tea and coffee are diuretic and because of the small pouch at the beginning and the trouble of getting enough liquids in as it is. It is recommended that you keep clear. Once you have the Water drinking down you can afford to drink a tea or coffee..But still you have to be careful not too much.....I have 2 teas a day now..18 months out..but gt my 64 oz. of Water in too......

All plans are different.

I was told at my 6 month post-op appt that I could try caffeine and see how it went.

Went fine for me.

Ok all good suggestions. I think I'll ask my my doctor since I really don't have an appointment to see the NUT again . I don't think I really need the caffeine but I like green tea and that only comes caffeinated

AR40 I've been drinking Decaf green tea. I'm pretty sure Celestial Seasonings makes it, it should be at your grocer. It also comes in different flavors in my area, I like spearmint best. HTH

They are testing caffeine and coffee to see whether or not they affect appetite. Here is one (albeit small) blind study. I for one like that Decaf coffee may be good for me and does seem to be decreasing my appetite--a little.

      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'. ???

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
