5' 6" Height: |  Speaking of coffee... Does anyone else like coffee more now then before WLS? It seems as though I could drink it at any time and often think about having some even in the PM (all though I don't) I think about it almost in the same way I used to crave snack foods. Is that strange? So far I keep myself to drinking it just once or twice a day. Anybody else? |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Physician Prescribed Diet/Exercise | I am a non-OP. However I am on a "Protein Shake fast" (prescribed)--and am following my Doc's "after WLS" food plan. I'm at a very low caloric intake. So, I don't know if my situation is considered comparable... ...BUT, I have become a coffee/herbal tea FIEND!!! It's like I'm replacing my previous eating with drinking sugar-free, non-caloric beverages!!! I really feel deprived if I can't drink myself silly on tea/coffee. I feel like it keeps me sane. I don't even care about the caffeine. In fact after a couple of cups of REGULAR coffee I get ANXIOUS. So it's not the caffeine I'm craving. It's the only flavor I'm allowed!!!  Mya |

| Super Moderator  | Oh, yup, the caffeine can upset your pouchy. Keep in mind, your pouch is still healing, it takes 3-4 months to heal completely. If you could see your staple lines, you'll see them still a bit red, swollen and tender, easily react to any stimulant. Try to do things after you are 6-12 months out. Untill then, best not to venture out, and stick to what your surgeon says.
