Coffee

Do I really have to stay away from coffee for 3 months after surgery. Would I be able to get Decaf. Anyone know what the issue is with coffee

I was allowed to drink Decaf immediately after surgery. Well, within a week, once I was out of the clear liquid stage. I was told to stay away from caffeine, but decaf drinks were okay.

I wonder why each surgeon is different. My surgeon says no coffee for 3 months and not to even try Decaf because there is small amounts of caffeine in decaf.

I was allowed Decaf at 1 week.

Man that's almost a deal breaker.................I'm in love with my KCup

I think the caffeine restriction is due to dehydration. I have been drinking Decaf (kcups at that!). No need to say goodbye to Keurig :-)

I'm happy to hear that some of you can still get their coffee so maybe I can sneak a cup in a few times. I'm a mocha fanatic and I know the mocha would be to much just yet but just a plain old coffee would satisfy me for a bit.

I was told no coffee for 1 month. I stayed away for a month but started drinking it in day 31 with no problems at all.

I was told Decaf as well, but the last couple of times I mixed some in with my Protein Shake, my stomach started to hurt, so I've left it alone for a while. If it doesn't bother your tummy, do decaf

Does anyone have problems with caffiene? If i drink coffe or tea or anything with caffiene it make me feels reslly really weird.. I feel like I cant handle it anymore since surgery. Does anyone else have this problem? Im jittery and just feel weird even if I have just a half a cup.

My doctor does not restrict coffee. I had my first cup of coffee in the hospital the day after surgery. I usually have 3-4 cups a day.

I was told no coffee for 1 month. Not even Decaf as coffee irritates the lining of the stomach. I was allowed decaf tea day 1 post-op. And its true, if you drink caffeine you would have to take in more fluids.

Just had my first cup of coffee a few days ago and no problems.

I have been having Ice coffee every morning for the past 2 weeks. It helps me with my energy and gets everything moving (if you know what I mean) I haven't had to take the Miralax or anything. I love it my NUT and DR said no problems just drink plenty of Water through the day.
