Coffee - with caffiene or not?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone been told to quit the caffeine prior to surgery? My Dr has and I'm really having a hard time switching to caffeine free coffee. I need something to wake me up in the morning.

Hello, I'm 5 months out and I have ONE cup of regular coffee a day, in the morning. I have no negative issues with this. The only problem you may have is that if you drink this it may interfere with your other liquids or your Breakfast ie Protein intake. It is unrealistic to me that I cannot have certain things that I enjoy. This surgery has enabled me to know what moderation is. This is just me and I am not trying to tell anyone else to do anything that their doc says to do or not to do.

      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.
