puchy123 56 Posted September 20, 2013 My doctor was very stern on waiting at least one month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted September 20, 2013 It was given to me in the hospital on my tray, along with Water and a strawberry Protein shake. Dr said I could drink moderate coffee right away. I waited 2 weeks however, for fear the temperature would cause a staple line leak. Silly, I now know. I haven't gone a day without coffee for about 10 yrs but since I wasn't feeling well the first couple weeks, it was no biggy. I put either flavored Creamer or sf Syrup and milk in my coffee. Every dr is different with caffeine, so you'll have to go by ur own drs recommendations. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soyfpine0405 0 Posted September 20, 2013 thanks to all, I guess coffee can wait at least I have my Isopure drink to enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It helps getting all your Protein and Water in. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessicaAnn 564 Posted September 20, 2013 I was served Decaf coffee in the hospital the morning after surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brighteyes 237 Posted September 20, 2013 My doc says no coffee... :-(. Mainly because it's a diuretic and dehydrates you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpeycke 16 Posted September 20, 2013 From what I read you can drink Decaf because it will not cause the dehydration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newat52 1,613 Posted September 20, 2013 I started with a Decaf about 3 weeks out. It didn't sound good till then. Worked up to half caf then regular. I am 6 months out and drink 2-3 cups per day. coffee won't really dehydrate you unless you are quite short on liquids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoftig 18 Posted September 20, 2013 Wow, my doc said 3 months, (but i had an iced americano yesterday 2 months out and I want another one today!). I did take extra antacid though. I don't think it's a caffiene question, but rather an acid question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steffranco 45 Posted September 20, 2013 Decaf should be fine, but my doctor said no caffeine for 3 months, after 3 months, only one caffeinated beverage per day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
denise633 86 Posted September 20, 2013 I'm 3 wks out and also have a keurig, I bought the Decaf coffee k cups and use sugar free hazelnut sweetener....can't get down a whole cup though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevVSG 12 Posted September 20, 2013 My docs etc told us no caffeine after surgery whatsoever. With that said, I'm drinking 1-2 cups a day. No worries on my end, all seems to be going well. I am about 8 months out and started drinking coffee again back 2 months ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
