Decaf and my Taste Buds

[Adri 40]

Does anyone have a great brand of Decaf they enjoy? I have been a coffee addict even as a child. I am more sad that I can't have my morning coffee, than the food I am missing. I tried Folgers decaf and Starbucks and do not like either one.

But I also have a second question: I am 11 days post op and I think my taste buds are out of whack. Nothing seems to taste like it used to. Has anyone experienced this?

They say taste changes after surgery and I have to agree. I used to drink coffee all the time but I've tried a few decafs and not really enjoyed them all that much. Probably my favorite Decaf is Tim Horton's.Yes, the restaurant version. And it makes me feel more like who I was when I go through the drive through and get my coffee.

I am only 4 days post-op and dieing for some coffee. I can not find anywhere in my binder that it says when I can try at least de-caf but I feel pretty confident that it is way too soon right now. food commercials aren't even bothering me but the coffee ones are killing me. Gonna call Doc office first thing Monday and ask about it!

My doc said I could have Decaf anytime, although, why bother lol. He said I could have one cup a day one month post op. Initially I didn't like the taste of coffee again when I started drinking it again, but I think it was that I didn't like the taste of coffee mate anymore because when I started using 1/2 and 1/2 it was much better. I am 2 months post op on Monday and drink as much coffee as I want now as long as I get in all my liquids too. As far as tastebuds go, they do change from my experience, I used to HATE haburger and mushrooms, now I absolutely love a hamburger smothered in mushrooms and oniouns LOL, that and hummus, hated it now I love it. Hope this helps!

HI-

I have been off my coffee too.

it is hit and miss, M-T_W I was back to 2 cups aday, then I seem to toss more than I was drinking.'

I switched from lattes to cappuccino's- getting more coffee flavor...

I am having a harder time this weekend drinking Water than all week.
