Eat That Frog 53 Posted October 6, 2012 I miss my coffee so much and am counting the days until my first cup. Did anyone have problems with coffee when they started drinking it again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slojo 150 Posted October 6, 2012 I drank coffee the whole time just cut back drastically, i was not told to stop drinking it by my surgeon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssriley 52 Posted October 6, 2012 I went back to my two cups with sugar-free vanilla Creamer every morning when I was ~2 weeks post-op I think, and have had no problems. Life is good. 1 Eat That Frog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AngelBaby 153 Posted October 6, 2012 at around 10 days post op I tried a little bit with SF creamer and have been drinking it since with no problems whatsoever. I stick to 1 cup/day though now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted October 6, 2012 No problems with coffee here. After all, I live in Seattle - home of the latte. I started out by drinking single shot expresso a couple times a week. I am now also having Cappuccino with Splenda once a week ( usually Saturday). Now I have about one coffee a day in the morning to help wake up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ForMyfamily 84 Posted October 6, 2012 Used to be a pot a day drinker, old corp habit. Even bought a can of Decaf for after surgery but found no need for it. Just decided to quit drinking it altogether and really have not missed it. Did go through about a week of headaches from withdrawal though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
washffpm 56 Posted October 6, 2012 I have been drinking coffee since the day after surgery in the hospital. I drink 3-4 cups a day without any problems. I do get a bit more jittery if I drink more than a few cups without eating. My Dr. said it was ok to drink coffee.< /p> Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kshepa 77 Posted October 6, 2012 Wow!! I just signed on to ask about coffee because my NUT said it was not allowed and I quit pre-op. But now it's Fall and the Fall blends with spices are so attractive!! I bought the pumpkin Spice blend at Trader Joes and it tastes wonderful with Splenda and a splash of skim milk, and felt like I was committing a mortal sin by drinking it!! Now I've read all your posts, I feel better. Try this coffee, it's wonderful. (I will use in moderation, as I know nothing in excess is good for me or anyone) 1 Eat That Frog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's all new 453 Posted October 6, 2012 Everyone's doc is different - mine has said coffee is no problem in moderation. I have some in my chocolate Protein drink every afternoon, and also have an occasional fat free latte. The latte is a splurge due to the carbs in the milk, I really watch what else I eat on those days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
