Coffee... It's My One True Love



Recommended Posts

(Besides my gf, of course)

But seriously, I am coffee snob. I have the molecular diagram of caffeine tattooed on my arm, I have a dozen different machines/gadgets to make the sweet bean juice, and I roast my own.

I take my coffee very seriously. Obviously I can't be slurping it down like a mad man during the first few weeks post-surgery because I need to stay hydrated (caffeine isn't exactly conducive to that), but how soon did you guys start swilling the go-go juice again?

These words make my soul sing with joy. ;)

Ok, I MIGHT be over-exaggerating, but that's excellent info! Thanks!

Wow, by the looks of your tatoo you are a committed coffee connoisseur!! I was allowed to drink regular coffee again after my two week check up.

I was "allowed" at 3 weeks. I "allowed myself" at 6 days. Black, hot and yummy.

Haven't looked back- and enjoy too many each and every day, along with iced unsweetened sun tea- with lemon, of course

I'm 2 weeks out and am allowed to have caffeine but for any amount of caffeine i consume, I have to have the same amount of non-caffeinated beverage to stay hydrated :)

No desire since surgery I tried drinking a cup it gets cold. So I don't drink it anymore.

I was able to have coffee after two days. Watch the milk though - it may make u feel a bit sick in the tummy if you have too much. I have always liked my coffee strong - but even more so now. As such I limit to one strong coffee each morning as my 'treat' - besides I'd get the sack if I skipped it.

This one shocked me! I don't know why, but it did! My son is headed today to the NCAA headquarters in Indiana with 19 other students from University of Iowa. ( Did I mention how proud and excited I am for him??? He had to submit an application, write out essays, etc to be chosen from a pool of 1000 who applied!!! And he is a freshman!!!) They are spending the next 4 days there studying, learning, meeting with NCAA management, etc.

I'm sending this to him so he can ask about it there. Interested to find out how they monitor the athletes with caffeine consumption.

        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!

      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
