Wow and I was just trying to tell myself that I was handling coffee fine and to stop worrying about it! I had a ton this weekend and now I am scared!

Well I am glad you are feeling better and they figured out what it was. You look fantastic and like you said- sometimes we have to learn the hard way. Did they tell you no caffeine at all now/? I bet you prob wont bother either way right? Do you think Coffee is just as bad or was it just the super strong espresso? I have about 1 cup a day- maybe a half cup because i rarely fini****
I tried decaf but missed the real deal!

I can strongly suggest you eat salads, spinach, romaine lettuce, healthy fats like olive oil, flax oil, and a high Ph water and your ulcer will heal itself. Stick to a vegetarian diet(mostly) with the exception of fish. IMHO. :-) Stay away from acidic foods altogether.

Caffeine/Coffee is pure acid. Acid causes ulcers and tissue degeneration in general. It might taste good and give you temporary jolt but in the long run it can be very harmful to your health.

Hi everyone,
 
I had my VSG on 5/15/08 and have lost  61 lbs since the surgery date. In total since my highest last year of 345 I have lost 107 lbs.

I can eat anything I want but when I overdo it I get sick. I am forced to eat in moderation :-) which I like very much. I need to watch the chocolate for sure. :-)

no ulcers, no issues with acid at all...but I eat an alkalarian diet(mostly) chocolate not being on it ...

My diabetes is gone though. My blood pressure is much lower though I still take one pill. I love my salads, healthy fats, mineral salts, and green drink!

My Doc said my weight loss was right up there with the RNY. I am pretty happy right now :-).
