My surgeon recomended "Major Dickinson's" Decaf blend...the brand is Peet's coffee. I used that before and after surgery, it did help and didn't have that weird decaf taste. Stick to your plan, you will be surprised at how fast 6 weeks go!

I waited a couple months.....but it was on after that.

I drink the cowboy shyt out of it now.

In a "Brokeback Mountain" kind of way? :)

None of that action for me, thank you for offering, though.

Hetero coffee fiend, here.

That action is not for me either. No offer to you except to maybe buy you a cup of coffee.< /p>

Is Decaf OK? My plan allows decaf and highly recommends staying off caffeine permanently. I've been caffeine free for two months, and I'm doing pretty well at this point. I still forget and order regular sometimes (the people behind me in line love getting my mistakes).

I had Decaf coffee on my tray in the hospital.

I started cold brew coffee (lower acid) at 6 weeks, and I had it warm or cold.

Coffee doesn't dehydrate you, that is a myth.

I started having an equal mix of cold brew coffee using Trader Joe's Low Acid French Roast or Folger's Simply Smooth and Fairlife milk about 10 days post-surgery when I was given the green light for it. I then gradually altered the ratio so it was more coffee and less milk. It actually made me feel heaps better rather than worse. I also would have the Chike coffee flavored Protein powder.

In the early days, I added a spoonful of instant coffee and sugar free Torani caramel Syrup to ice, vanilla Protein powder, and a little skim milk (or water). Blend it up, Protein frappuccino.

I waited until a few months out for the real thing, but I drink it every morning now :) worth the wait. Glorious coffee!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!

      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!
