Why caffeine free



Recommended Posts

Does everyone's surgeon have only de-caffinated coffee on their allowed food list initially? Over the years, the FDA has found problems with different chemicals used to decaffinate coffee so I would prefer to stick with the real stuff. I don't drink tons - at most 2 cups a day.

I would really like to mix coffee with my morning shake for an iced coffee but I don't want to buy Decaf if it isn't essential.

Any input is appreciated.

I don't have to do decaff, or at least I don't think I do. Isn't that the same thing? But I think I read somewhere that caffine causes stomach churn. but then again, I could be making up that part.

I talked to my Doctor about it and he said regular coffee is fine. There is a thread on here somewhere about it. I drink coffee everyday, couldn't get along without it! :(:D:D

My doctor says we can drink coffee, it doesn't have to be Decaf. However, ever doctor is different and there may be a reason why he/she is telling you that.

My doc says reg. coffee is fine. The only reason not to, he said, is if you already suffer from acid problems w/your stomach.

Caffeine causes dehydration but i mean if you drink Water anytime of the day its fine. and its with anyone banded or not that it causes that.

      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.
