Guest guest Posted October 3, 2000 Report Share Posted October 3, 2000 It is only " suggested " that coffee (decaf or reg), and tea (iced or hot) be avoided because it's high in tanic acid,which is irritating to your small stomach. Caffeine also speeds up gastric motility.....(gives you the trots and could lessen absorption.) I was an avid caffeine drinker- no matter what diet I was on I had my coffee. It was truly the HARDEST thing I had to do as a pre-op. For me,this surgery was about change-once and for all. I want to see just how healthy I can get. Just how viceless I could become. It has been incredibly liberating. I may try a sip,but it really doesn't " feel right " , and I now prefer hot water w/ lemon on a cold morning instead. The taste of a diet coke makes me nauseaous.....and I love it! Healthier than last year!: ) Osler MGB 2/21/00 272/192 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
