Coffee

[Eat That Frog 53]

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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>

That actually sounds good. I may try that and I'm not even post approval yet.

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)

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.
