3 months

Nothing, I always take my coffee black.

No problems whatsoever! My body runs on coffee (lots of it) and that has not changed.

ETA: my hospital brought me hot Decaf the day after surgery and I had that with no problems either. I didn't bother with decaf once I went home though, I didn't really see the point. But I went right back to full test coffee when I was okayed for it.

I drank Decaf for the first three weeks and then started drinking 1 cup of caffeine coffee each day. After one cup, if I want more.... I'll go to decaf.

Good deal. I'm only 2 weeks out. I have an irrational fear of putting anything to hot in my sleeve lol. I'll probably try a sip of my hubbies and go from there. Thank y'all!

Back away from my coffee!!!!

I had a cup (a few sips) the night I got home from the hospital with 1/2 & 1/2. I make room for a cup a day on all of my lists: calorie, Protein, etc.

Afternoon, I switch to Earl Grey tea, simply because I love that too.

Don't be mess'n with my caffeine!!! The bodies of those who did have never been found... :)

Is it ok to put fat free creamer in coffee? I love coffee but I have been putting vanilla Protein shakes in my coffee but I'm craving the creamer

Talk to your Nut. about it.

Together, her and I adjusted my diet to allow me to have 1/2 & 1/2 in my morning coffee.

It's all about switching things around --give and take with your daily menu.

I've been using the sugar free liquid Coffeemate French Vanilla since the day I came home from surgery and my NUT has no problem with it. I've also used the sugar free Italian Creme and Hazelnut.

I waited about a month... maybe two? I drink 2-3 cups a day (plus sometimes a cup of Decaf in the evening). I use Torani sugar-free syrups and 2% Fairlife milk. Or if I'm out, I put in Splenda and vanilla soymilk. Or Splenda and half and half, if I'm at a diner or something.

About 6 weeks maybe a little longer. It is all a blur now.

At first I was making iced coffee drinks with cold brewed coffee and unflavored Protein.

I have a cup every morning with a few drops of stevia and 1TB 1/2 and 1/2.

I think about 6 weeks. I really shouldn't even be drinking it with my GERD, but I try to limit it.

I have to have some vices, don't I??

What store do y'all find the Torani syrups from?

I find Torani syrups either at World Market, Ralph's, and Von's. Or if you don't live by any of those store Amazon also sells them.

I get it at Walmart. They have limited flavors at my store, just vanilla, Hazelnut, and Caramel that are sugarfree.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
