3 Weeks Post Op/craving Coffee

[esmb 0]

I am slightly over 3 weeks post op. I am craving coffee, which i havent had for over 6 weeks. Any thoughts of 1/2 caf.? I only have one cup in the A.M. but dont want to have a bad acid experience. Any past experience would be greatly appreciated.

I been drinking coffee since one week out. No issues I use Splenda and skim plus half and half.

Can you get used to Decaf? The only thing about coffee is the caffeine as a diuretic

I've been drinking 1/2 Decaf since week one, without any issues. One cup and I'm good for a few days. Funny, I use to drink 3 or more cups of regular coffee a day.

I am down to one cup from three also. I actually have to reheat it cause it gets cold it takes me so long to drink it. If you have a kuerig you can buy the half and half coffee which is half caffeine I don't taste a difference.

I have been drinking fully caffinated coffee since 1 week out. I usually mix a scoop of whey Protein in the mornings to get my protein boost. No issues at all. I have cut down from 3 cups to 1....

I drink a cup of Decaf with a scoop of chocolate Protein mix in the mornings with no problem here lately. I was never a big coffee drinker though and not caffeine dependent so decaf is no biggie for me. If you think you need the kick of coffee, maybe try halfcaff.

I tried Decaf hot tea for three weeks, but it is just not the same as coffee. I broke down one week post op and had myself a cup of coffee. I limit myself to one cup a day of real coffee. I do not have any other caffiene during the day and usually do not drink the entire cup of coffee. Now, I am NOT back up to my cup of hot coffee and large iced coffee w/ sugar free vanilla from McD's, and I will NEVER go back to that bad habit. But my single cup o coffee is so nice. :wub:

THanks again for all of the feedback, I really appreciate it.
