The blessings you don't want :)

Before my plastic surgery, I was drinking coffee like water. I think I was single handedly keeping starbucks in business! 

After my surgery, for the last 2 weeks, I havent been able to drink coffee. Its bad for me anyways, but I tried to have a little, and I just can't do it. My stomach can't handle the acid anymore. After I threw up after the first attempt, i waited a week, tried decaf, got a cup down, but still can't handle decaf. Coffee is the last thing on earth I want!!!

This is SOOO SAD. I miss my coffee, but I dont need it and its bad for me. So it's good, right? I guess....but boohooo!!!

I am not sure who is more disappointed - me or my coffee friends. Don't kill me guys - I didnt' ask for this!

i didnt drink coffe for the first month or 2, im 9 months out and i have coffer every day, i add my cholocate protein  to my coffee,  oh ya its like a flavored coffee

That's sad Alison!  Coffee really isn't bad for you......at least that what they are saying THIS week LOL  I know I wasn't allowed coffee for 4 months, so I switched to herbal tea which I did not like one bit, but wanted something warm first thing.  Keep in mind that tea was something I drank ONLY when I was on death's door.  Had to be that sick to drink it.  Now I enjoy a cup or two of herbal tea each morning.  Is that an option for you?  Maybe, in a few months you can try coffee again? 

Good luck.............

Anything in ridiculous amounts cant be great for you - especially with all the sweet n low and stuff....or at least, there are b etter things for me. But Im sure it was better than eating other junk that I reallllly wanted. The benefits of transfer addictions :)

Gurl, this just means more coffee for me!!!  Whoo Hoo!!!

Actually, um... yeah I'm sad, WTF???  You better start getting used to those non-coffee fraps or something 'cause my Starbucks runs with you are far from ova!!!!

Do you think this will last for-ever?  If so, I think I will be sad!!!!

BTW, you are looking awesome!!!!  BEAUTIFUL!!!!!  I hope to see you this weekend!!!!

Im not sure- my stomach just hasnt been right since surgery. Between not being able to eat much and feeling queazy and what not...who knows. Im weening off the tramadol - maybe that will help? Who knows. 

I doubt it last forever - it wasnt an intentional change - transfer addictions dont die that easy lol. Plus i really love relaxing at starbucks so im bound to be back soon!

um.. more coffee for US!!

I say this as I am sipping on my pumpkin spice coffee. :D

Im not a coffee drinker( though I admit there is no better smell to wake up to than a fresh brew) ....however I feel your pain....    I used to love tea and my favorite flavors irritate my tummy...    :(

I have four venti Decaf Pikes Places a day - It will return, no fear.  I do pour overs at home in the morning.  Sometimes for my evening walk I will pack up my computer and walk to a local shop and hang out till they close then walk back home.  Coffee is how I get my evening exercise while I can't run, LOL.

How are the incisions?  No separations or seroma's I hope.

I have one large seroma at the base of the incision on my left thigh - which is common.  The doc aspirated it twice and it feels like its finally gone.  Little ones will usually go away on their own.

I still have all my stitches in :(

This process is starting to suck but oh well, one day it will be all done and over with.
