Coffee and creamer



Recommended Posts

I love coffee but I waited until after 6 weeks to drink it. 4 days post op it might be too much acid for you.

The acid in coffee is a bigger concern than the caffeine that this point.

I wasn't allowed coffee until 30 days post-op. You might be better off going with tea this early. Acid is a real concern. I actually had an easier time with hot liquids in my early days than with room temp liquids. For me things either had to be hot or ICE cold to get down without immediately feeling overfull.

When I couldn't have coffee, I had this

every morning. It satisfied my need for the coffee taste and I got my Protein in.

Looking for variety, I keep reading the list of allowed liquids, and coffee is on there. I heard to avoid caffeine but I have never heard of the acid level in coffee, so thank you for that info!

At two weeks post op, Decaf coffee and tea is on my list of suggested stage 3 foods. I could not drink the entire cup though. I drank about 1/3, and I added some non-dairy Creamer.< /p>

I probably drink way more coffee than I should, which is probably one of the reasons I still have to take omeprazole daily, even though I'm 14 months out now. I can't help myself! I've already given up so much by having this surgery, I couldn't bring myself to give up coffee too! Though I was a good girl and didn't drink any coffee those first 30 days post-op. I started out with one cup a day with lots of cream at the 30 day mark. But now I'm back up to 3 cups a day, sometimes 4!

I'm the same way, Jamie! And on top of that, I drink it with that terrible for us flavored creamer! But I've still lost weight doing it from almost day 1 (well a month out) because I add it to MFP, so there!

I try to limit to 2 cups, and I did for a whole year. But i'm slowly sneaking in another cup every once in a while. I can't have chocolate, so a girl has to have SOME vices!

I was allowed Decaf on full liquids. I used vanilla Protein powder instead of creamer. I used a coffee warmer USB to keep it hot.

I drink my morning cup of coffee with an ounce of a ready-to-drink Protein shake or light vanilla almond milk, and either a half packet of stevia or a dollop of one of the Torani sugar-free syrups.

That is basically how I feel. I have given up everything. I am not giving up coffee. I don't care about alcohol or soda, but coffee, I can't live without.

      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.
