How much coffee?

[dogMom]

I should be having gastric sleeve in the next 6 months. I'm really scared. I'm a big coffee drinker. Usually have 3 cups every morning. How much am I going to be able to drink?

I am a I am a devotee of coffee and I will never stop drinking it no matter what anybody says. I've been drinking it for sixty years. You might want to invest in a plain espresso machine that gives you a wonderful concentrated shot. Artificial sweetener and a little bit of magic milk and you will have the most delicious espresso you ever had in your life and they're much smaller than 4 cups of coffee so maybe this would help.

I just did a Google search on Bariatric surgery and coffee because I had the same question. Initially, while your stomach is healing it is to be avoided. The temperature and acidic content of the coffee are hard on the stomach. Later, diet-wise, coffee is thought to be an appetite stimulant and diuretic. Some people say this is a myth. Some doctors hold by it. Like you I have to have coffee. My doctor said if I HAD to, to limit it to one a day after 3 weeks post-op.
