don't know if the coffee is okay

@@kelseycakes20

all docs say different things to their patients :)

as with everything related to your sleeve - ask and listen only to your doc :unsure:

my doc didn't limit my intake on coffee

always loved the smell of coffee - ahhhh wonderful

but i never cared for the taste :wacko:

my taste buds didn't change much

except now i love coffee :)

i have one cup almost every morning :)

i enjoy drinking it now

and it makes my tummy full and happy ;)

hope you get your wish and have some coffee sooner than later :)

kathy

They actually didn't say anything about decaffeine haha only caffeine. Have been sipping my first cup of coffee in a looooong time. I quit caffeine about 3-4 weeks before surgery and just stayed away from coffee since then as well. Definitely enjoying this! Lol ????

I could have it right away. I know some people may have trouble with drinks of different temperatures. One thing I add to mine is sugar free flavored Syrup to make it really yummy. :)

That's a good, I want to go get the stevia flavoring to put in my coffee

I drink 1/2 caffeine 1/2 Decaf coffee every morning. My NUT said the reason they want you to stay away from caffeine is because it feeds hunger. But I've not had any issues thus far. I'm about 15wks post surgery

I was cleared for decade coffee the day after surgery. It fell under my clear liquid group. Once I had my leak check the morning following surgery I could have the Decaf just was restricted to one ounce per hour for several hours and wasn't bumped up to the next level until the next day where I was allowed to sip sip sip all day long. My sleeve was 11-4 and if I desire coffee I can have a cup anytime but I assure you it takes me forever to get those 8oz down lol

coffee allowances seem very plan-specific. I'm not supposed to have any, but I still have a few sips of my husband's coffee every day (regular). It seems like some plans allow you to have regular coffee as long as you can tolerate the acid. When I go to my doctor's appointment on the 12th, I'm going to ask him about regular coffee. I really want to get an official ok on this and not just feel like a big cheaty cheaterson every time I have a sip.

Can you put any type of sweetner in the Decaf coffee?

I was told zero calorie sweeteners are fine.

I was one of those people @@Bufflehead speaks of. I was given regular black tea in the hospital as part of my liquid meal! But still, I didn't start back on coffee until I was about a month post op. Now I put my Protein Powder in it. In fact my nut suggested it since she knew that post op the shakes with milk tasted gross to me.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
