I haven’t had any yet post RNY, I’m 2 weeks and 2 days out. The work day is hard to get through without a little caffeine kick!

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.

I think I'm just going to stay caffeine free. To be honest, I kinda feel better without it. I also don't miss all that diet soda either.

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.

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.

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.

Also having alcohol in my present state of mind would not be a good thing at all.

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!

How king until you felt better without it? I would love to kick my Starbucks habit but it’s been years. I don’t miss diet soda at all but I do miss seltzer Water - more than anything else !!

      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.
