Coffee Ok In Liquid Stage Post Op?



Recommended Posts

Hi just wandering whether coffee is ok during the liquid stage post op? Hubby was having one today and I wanted one so bad but he is wrapping me up in Cotten wool and doesn't think I'm allowed one? I had my surgery 5 days ago, eating fruit smoothies, homemade Soup & V8 juice ATM I can have yoghurt, milk, custard whatever you can suck through a straw (hypothetically) so I know the liquid part of coffee is fine just didn't know about the caffeine? Thanks :)

The key is making sure you get all your liquids in. coffee will dehydrate you. If you are having any trouble getting the amount of liquids that you are required to drink each day down then you better stay away. I had no problem at all with liquids so my NUT gave me the okay 2 weeks after being sleeved.

My packet from NUT says Water, coffee, tea, crystal lite, Jello, SF Popsicles.... But personally, I have a bit of a funky tummy & coffee seems to exacerbate it, so post-op I'll prob wait quite a while to test it out, if ever.

As I have learned on this site is every doctor is different. My doctor told me I had to wait 1 month before coffee... I have noticed that now I don't even want coffee now

I was told no coffee until week six and sadly, I didn't like it at first!!! We are coffee lovers......Star Bucks EVERY Friday after my husband gets off work, so this was alarming!!!! I went and drank Iced Tea until my 'taste' returned. I guess I was about 3 months out and all of a sudden, I was lovin' it again!!! Praise God!!!!

Be sure and ask about fruit smoothies. I was told NO fruit due to the sugar and once it was allowed, they said treat fruit as a treat, a couple of times per week. Sugar is sugar whether it is granulated or natural. Just someting to keep in mind!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
