When did everyone start having coffee again? Did it upset your stomach at all ? My program says to wait 3 months before introducing caffeine. I do believe decaff was approved during the full liquid stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also don't miss all that diet soda either.Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app I don't crave it everyday or anything. But I can salivate over seeing someone with a foam cup and straw. A polar pop in the morning was my fix... But I'm proud to say...no longer. 1 Mattymatt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreenTealael 25,439 Posted April 19, 2018 I gave up coffee about 7-8 months before surgery, then had it after (sleeve) surgery when it showed up on my hospital tray [emoji25]I drink regular and Decaf (makes no difference for me) with no problems handling it. Started caffeinated a week after surgery. There are low acid varieties also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattymatt 491 Posted April 19, 2018 I miss beer and wine. I want to be able to have them again but my surgeon says only at 1 year post op. I will stick with that.Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Healthy_life2 8,324 Posted April 19, 2018 For the hard core soda drinkers...lol Liquid stevia cola drops. Many flavors to add to your Water. Found these at my local health food store. You can also find them online. My coffee fix was crushed ice, instant coffee (decaf) Hershey's Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup and vanilla Protein Powder. It was my morning drink. Best of luck guys! 3 Taoz, GreenTealael and Neon Star reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
