Coffee (not decaf)??

[cat whisperer 127]

Hello - I was wondering how many of you drink "real" coffee post-op. I am allowed to have it - my nutritionist thinks it is fine and said she didn't expect me to give it up.

I haven't had coffee since my surgery, however, as innately I thought it might irritate my stomach. Now almost two weeks out, I'm starting to think I might enjoy a coffee in the morning.

Anyone else drink coffee with no problems? (I'm talking one cup brewed coffee with a bit of skim milk in it)

My coffee makes truck drivers cower in fear, and I have several cups a day.

I'm having some right now as well - zero problems.

My doctor's instructions were no coffee, ever. The concern is that the acid can cause ulcers. Doesn't matter if it's caff or Decaf - it's the acid that is the issue. This is the one "instruction" that I couldn't adhere to. I drink only one small cup in the morning, and I'm fine with it. Also - when I spoke with one of the counselors in his office (also a long term lap band patient) she kind of chuckled & said that most ALL of them drink some, anyway. So.....I decided that a little bit of coffee isn't going to make or break me. HELL, I have no vices left! Give me my damn cup of coffee!

Just be aware that caffeine can dehydrate so keep your Fluid levels up with non caffeinated liquids! Enjoy!

I agree with the others- let me have my dang coffee. I quit smoking 2 years ago, I don't eat junk food anymore, and I don't have my beloved soda anymore.

...I'm drinking my coffee!

I'm dying for a Timmies, just wondering if anybody uses cream or milk. I used to love my large double double.

One of the people on here still have their timmies...its their one treat. They did switch to a small.

Your Timmies sounds like our Starbucks

Okay, this thread got me so excited today (either that, or too much caffeine), that I went out a bought a new coffee maker. It makes a single small or large cup, or a whole carafe. It also makes tea. And the GOOD news is, that it makes a cup of coffee in 60 seconds, and tastes great! I'm so picky when it comes to coffee, and have bought and returned a few single serve/pod type machines. AWFUL! This, however, is great....which I never thought I would say, coming from a French press.

Yeah, God forbid I should have to wait longer than a minute for my morning brew
