Is Decaf black coffee allowed Post op? How soon?

Looks like it all depends on the surgeon. My doctor never stopped be pre/post from drinking regulate coffee.< /p>

I had Decaf as soon as I felt i could drink it, I also told my nut that the 2 tablespoons of half and half (40 calories) I would not give up.

I don't know what to recommend but here's my story:

I was about 6 weeks out and the weather was bitterly cold and I just wanted to warm my innards up. I took half a cup of Decaf with a little non dairy Creamer and a packet of sweetener. It felt good but tasted like crap after the first couple of sips - seems like all my food hits me that way, good for a few bites and BLAH the rest. I drank maybe half the half cup and poured the rest out. Did this 3 days in a row, Seems to be no ill effects other than burping up coffee stink in my breath YECH!

I don't like the taste of coffee as much as I used to and I was a coffee addict before surgery. I do sometimes want it especially if it's cold and my doctor allows it. I just put lots of milk in it with splenda and it tastes pretty good. I don't "have" to have it like before surgery though.

My doctor said Decaf coffee can start Day 14 post op but sip to see if you tolerate it. Full caffiiene can start day 30.
