It is very sweet. Being two weeks out, how much coffee can you drink at one time?

Do you have any of the reflux I hear comes with the sleeve? I already have that and am medicated. Coffee was always an agitator for that.

I'm 10 days post op and have lost 10 lbs since surgery. Still no pain and gaining strength everyday. Still only getting about 40-50oz liquid in. I'm on full liquids so managed to get creamy Soups and Premier Protein in. I'm a coffee lover and tried coffee for first time today and it wasn't pleasant......looks like I'm saying goodbye to an old friend, lol! Decaf green tea has been a blessing and goes down really well. Best advice I can give is to only try one new thing each day so you'll know what does and doesn't make the cut. Get well wishes to all those post op!

Oh no! I am only on day 5 (had surgery on Tues) and haven't tried coffee yet. Handling Protein Shake, yogurt, and broth well. Trying a popsicle now. Still learning what "full" feels like but was planning to give coffee a try later today. Now I'm worried I should give it some moee time before trying. I switched to decaf months ago but am scared to be sick now that my post surgery nausea is under control. Best of luck to everyone on their experimentation!

I'm starting clear liquids Sunday the 27th does that include the Protein Shakes or do I not do the Protein shakes on the clear liquid day?

I am scheduled for gastric sleeve surgery on Monday, 8/28. I'm nervous - not about the surgery itself, but about what happens after. I'm also having these irrational (?) fears that the surgery work for me - that I'll be ravenously hungry, that my metabolism won't let me lose weight. But, another part of me is optimistic that I'll lose weight and keep it off. Yikes! I'm nervous.

Hang in there! Im sure a lot of us felt the way u do! I know i did! I was sleeved Aug 16th & surprising to me, lost 15lbs already. Im just 3 lbs away from beinging out of the 200s but I feel scared that once im able to eat food again I will gain those 15lbs back. Slowly but surely! So I made an eating plan that I hope will help me plus I will be attending,in person,a support grp + a healthy balance support group! These class are offered thru Kaiser & they're free! The Healthy Balance class has helped me to loose the weight I needed to loose before my surgery so I figured the support group will help also! I also look forward to getting back to my Water Aerobics class!
So hang in there because once you see your success, no matter how large or small, you'll automatically Won't want to go backwards![emoji3]

Well, take comfort in knowing that the hormone that generates the hunger craving is likely to be reduced as a function of the surgery. In fact, I've heard some people say that they've forgotten to eat.

I think Im one of the few that still have my craving hormone! Fortunately Im able to control it. Mainly because I don't want to experience any Dumping!!!!

Yup, that's one of the things I'm worried about. It's great that you're able to control it!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
