Didn't your surgeon give you instructions?

I tried regular black coffee two months out. I totally regretted it, massive heartburn and reflux. I would suggest trying Decaf first and see how you respond.

I resumed my coffee habit at two months post-op.

I've never drank the Decaf and never will. Caffeine is the entire point of drinking coffee, at least for me. I drink at least three cups per day since it tames my appetite.

I do chike Protein coffee it is AMAZING. I love the mocha one. Seriously if you haven't heard of it give it a try you will not be disappointed. I started having it 1 month post op and it has been great plus it helps me with my protein!

I drank a cup of Decaf day two. No problem. No caffeine. Caffeine is actually a pretty power irritant to the stomach. One of the causes of gastritis. That's no good for a new stomach.

As soon as my insanely strict post op diet let me. 10 days clears, then I think another week full liquids. coffee was allowed after. I made coffee Protein Drinks for several years; they were my lifesaver because I didn't have much appetite for Breakfast and needed to boost my Protein counts.

I waited 3 weeks to have a regular coffee. I drank Decaf on day 3.

I drink 3 cups a day now with zero issues.

My NUT said I could have a cup of coffee a day. And so i did. I added a half scoop of Unjury unflavored Protein at times.

So funny you ask this, I was sleeved on 5/17 and just had my first cup of coffee this week. I stayed close to home that morning just in case... but it was fine.

My NUT has coffee/caffeine on the no go list for life, but I am refusing that little piece of advice. I follow everything else in my diet to the letter, but if my tummy can tolerate coffee, I am not going to deny myself this forever. I talked to some other sleevers, and haven't met anyone who had weight loss problems as a result, just a few whose tummies are too sensitive for it.

      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.
