Coffee and golf, 5 days post op



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

I'm a few dyas post op, the first couple of days where really not fun but doing OK now, just really hungry. I can start full liquids tomorrow. I have a few questions to you guys, anyone a coffee drinker? How long until you had a good cup? I weened myself off of sweetening my coffee now I like to just drink it with milk or ff cream. what do you guys think?

Also to you golfers, how long until you got back on the course?

i wouldn't expect to be able to play golf for a few weeks post op. the incisions are still pretty tender for a while. especially the port site. my port site hurts like hell if i move a certain way or bend a certain way. i've been told this is normal and could last past a month post op. maybe you can play golf but i doubt it. i'm not a golf player. i tried bowling and it didn't work out too well. i bowl twice a week and i've had to be off for two weeks now b/c of surgery. it wasn't b/c the ball weighed too much either. it was the way my body is bending and moving.

I love my large cup of coffee in the mornings, but I'm trying to ween myself off and switch to herbal teas. I'm making the decision for health reasons. Actually I believe green tea is also great for weight loss. I hope to take up golf again in the spring.

I Think I would die if I couldn't have several cups of strong(Starbucks french roast) black coffee a day. No sugar, no cream, just black!

I don't think coffee is an issue; it's the caffiene in it that the doctors are not fond of. Can be dehydrating. Don't sweat your coffee but GOLF? This quick after surgery?? Call your doctor NOW and be sure it's OK to do so. You don't want to pop the sutures or cause yourself other expensive difficulties for a game or two of golf! I was told not to lift anything heavy, they did not even consider I'd be twisting and turning playing golf! Be careful, call the doc and be sure your fine to do so. You have come so far you don't want to mess it up now! Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
