melliecat 55 Posted October 26, 2016 Hello All! Did anyone NOT give up coffee after gastric bypass surgery? My intentions are to give it up prior so I get the headaches out of the way before surgery, but was wondering if anyone had stories of NOT giving up coffee.< /p> Thanks!

emardee 192 Posted October 26, 2016 I didn't give up coffee because my surgeon said coffee is fine for me. I have cut way back because it doesn't taste the same to me. I'll hit a Cappuccino a few times a week tho... Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breuxo 78 Posted October 26, 2016 we had to give up coffee for at least 3 months after surgery after that we are allowed coffee. of course we are always allowed decaf! just caffeine is hard on the new stomach Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffanie13 41 Posted October 26, 2016 My friend didn't give up coffee and it didn't seem to hinder her weight loss after surgery at all. I don't drink coffee but have already given up soda. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

melbell2222 244 Posted October 27, 2016 I didn't drink coffee for the first month and a half. Now I drink caffeine free at home but omg my new addiction is almond milk lattes! Not a lot of sugar and it's healthy! I make it at home sometimes but it's so much better from Starbucks hahaha Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cdeisroth 420 Posted October 27, 2016 I gave it up for 6 weeks after surgery to let myself heal but my surgeon gave me the all clear after that. I drink it daily Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ahipchik1965 15 Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) My question is are any of you using anything in your coffee? Before all this prep for surgery I used full fat half & half (which makes for the best cup of coffee), but now I haven't. It is ok to use the sugar free Creamers? They pretty don't have much of anything in them like calories, carbs or sugars. Also, does any one know if you can chew sugar free gum?

Also, does any one know if you can chew sugar free gum? i wouldn't risk chewing gum, if you swallowed it by mistake you would need surgery to get it out. i know some are super careful but honestly you don't know what could happen and it's not worth the risk.

toli 22 Posted October 29, 2016 I chew gum all the time. Doc said it was no problem and I'm not worried about swallowing it because I'm not 12. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
