When did you guys start drinking regular coffee again?

[WannabeH 114]

I was told the same as jj7481. My nut said its the dehydration issue.

Also she said coffee can spur on old habits meaning if you are like me, if I have a coffee I normally will want to eat something with it (coffee and chocolate is my ultimate food combo).

My nut said I should stop at 2 cups of normal coffee a day.

There is such a variety of opinions on practically everything, depending on your surgeon. I have a friend that left the hospital on pureed foods, my surgeon "two weeks liquid before pureed". As with anything, I'd say try it and see, everything slowly and in moderation is what I'm trying for.

My doc, who is very conservative, said I could have coffee all along, as long as I'm getting my Water intake and no Creamer and sugar.

I drink regular coffe. A cup a day. I'm 7 months post op. I use fat free creamer and less than half a sweetener.

Same here! With no problems. I started about 2 months post op

I stopped for a long time. coffee drinks were one of the main ways I ate my calories and sugar pre surgery. Huge white chocolate mochas daily. It was great to kick that habit.

I now drink about 1/2 cup of coffee with cream and Splenda in the morning and the occasional iced Americano with Splenda.

I'll never go back to my old ways. I'm over 1 year out.

Looks like I have to stop now if I have gerd.

Yes, that's what I was told at the very first interview I had with my WLS clinic. They go over the no caffeine/tobacco/no alcohol issue at every appt and each nut-class. I've had several people tell me they drink coffee anyway, some use half caf.

Seriously? Shoot me. I drink what I always have.

LOL ????!! Absolutely!! I second that opinion! I love my coffee ☕️!!

My program didn't restrict coffee but I didn't start drinking until about 6 months post. I did however drink a coffee Protein Drink made by a company called Chike. It's awesome. 20 gm of Protein 2.5 gm of sugar, 130 calls. It has real espresso. I am 2 1/2 yrs post RNY and still have a shake every morning. The company has other flavors as well and you can buy on Amazon.< /p>
