SimplyFAB 83 Posted February 27, 2013 What everyones experience with coffee about a month out? What kind of coffee do you drink? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TES 858 Posted February 27, 2013 I drink about 2 cups of home-brewed coffee every day--one with Miralax and sometimes one with Protein Powder (my surgeon doesn't limit caffeine). Pre-op, I usually only had hot tea in the morning and coffee on the weekends, but the coffee (and the Miralax) are helping to keep my digestive system going while not eating much Fiber. I feel fine on it and it doesn't irritate my stomach in any way. I drink extra Water to make up for the coffee. I am three weeks post-op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abetterme4.2 268 Posted February 27, 2013 What everyones experience with coffee about a month out? What kind of coffee do you drink? I drink chike Protein powder. Lol. I really do. It gives me my iced coffee fix. Also the click vanilla coffee (I think) but I don't like the mocha flavored one. It's weird, but my tummy doesn't like it. I haven't ventured out to regular coffee, although I thought about it today. The first time I have even wanted it. (6 weeks post-op). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mommyradd 115 Posted February 27, 2013 A month out, I tried Starbucks skinny latte and couldn't drink it. It gave me a pain in my chest. I had the iced sugar free vanilla coffee from Mc Donalds with no problems. Everyone's different. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chaparra 85 Posted February 27, 2013 I have been a coffee addict since I was 16, grande mocha or caramel macchiato. My nutritionist had me switch to americanos and I would add milk and sugar. I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to drink it after surgery. I started drinking it on my 4th day after surgery, but I think I'm going to limit myself to only drinking it when I don't have to go into work, regular home brewed coffee. I'm finding that when I buy my americano, I don't drink much of it. I'm too busy trying to make sure I get enough Water in throughout the day. I've done fine without the coffee, too.
