I had a glass of iced tea this afternoon, the first caffeine I have had since surgery Feb 26. I enjoyed it No sugar of course

I've wondered about caffeine if it really needs to be forbidden forever. I was hospitalized for depression once about 10 years ago and they wouldn't allow any caffeine at all in the unit. Everything Decaf. Because it's a stimulant I guess but since then, I've wondered how it would fit into a healthy life.

I was a diet coke addict until June 9th (surgery date lol) so I'm sure it will be a huge change for me not to have them anymore.

My doctor didn't say I had to do it forever. Just until we get past the bad risk for dehydration. I haven't really missed it but I do enjoy drinking iced tea and cannot get the Decaf in a restaurant. I drink tea while my husband eats. Moderation is the key

I heard today caffeine can interfere with Vitamin absorption. Don't know if it is true. Anyone know?

      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.

      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!
