I've stuck to home brewed coffee for the most part, or Starbucks Double Shot espresso drinks in a can (the small like 5oz ones). They're lower-carb and lower-sugar. I've been tempted to try the sugar-free Redbull as I know I'm find with the carbonation (I've had a couple beers and did fine), but I know energy drinks can be harsher on the stomach, so I've been timid.

I was sleeved on Jan 20. I'm down 35 pounds and I live on sweet tea[emoji15][emoji15] that's my new vice




Does the sugar make you sick?
And I drink coffee, my nut said just replace it with the same amount in Water, so 8 oz coffee= 8 oz water

In tea the sugar is fine, but I can't drink any other drinks that are sugary or it does make me sick. I'm not a coffee drinker.. I've tried but can't hack it.[emoji12]




I used to LOVE sweet tea, my NUT made me give it up and said make my own with no cal sweetener. So far it's been a fail because I have the chemically taste. I'd rather drink real sugar, but since I can't I just haven't had any sweet tea sadly:/

What does everyone do for caffeine after surgery? Is Water the only thing you drink


I drink coffee my surgeon said don't stop drinking it I could have it as soon as I got home from hospital it was a saving grace to be honest it was my treat and that can't be a bad thing it's better than donuts choc bars and cakes lollies
I love coffee I have up to 3 a day myself and I'm almost 1 year out and at goal

      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.
