Coffee 4 weeks post op?



Recommended Posts

Yes! I've been allowed to have Decaf coffee the whole time. I was only allowed to add milk at my full liquid phase, and still sugar free.

I had regular coffee with cream on my way home from the hospital and every day since!! Maybe it was just me, in Canada, but I didn't get a lot of guidance before or after surgery. 2 1/2 yrs later, I'm still healthy!

I'm allowed skim milk so I just use it with my morning coffee. Which I usually only drink about half....I drink caffeinated coffee, sweetened with sweet n low and a little skim milk.

It was a McCafe coffee and I don't use sugar. I sipped on it during the ride home. I had a Migraine from going without coffee in the hospital. I felt getting rid of the headache was worth it but it was probably not wise and I sipped very slowly. I'm not advocating it, just sharing my choices!

I am 4 weeks post op and tolerate a little coffee. I drink mine black, but have tried it with cream. Either way, I only want about 1/4 cup for some reason. I did Water it down a bit when I first tried it.

I've had coffee since 5 days post-op. I use the Premier vanilla shake as my Creamer -- no sugars! Don't want to risk dumping. Sometimes I use the chocolate for a mocha chino-type drink. I finish my leftover shake after the coffee wakes me up and I've gotten 30 grams of Protein in by early morning, plus jump-started my bathroom trips for the day.

My surgeon has no problem with coffee, but the nutritionist gave me the business for drinking it. I went with the surgeon having no problem with it, LOL.

Make sure you get in your Pepsid/PPI 2x a day though. Coffee IS acidic, and that gurgling in your stomach may seem like hunger, but it's really your stomach acids churning. I take one with my morning coffee and then about 4 hours later, before lunch.

      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.
