6 days post op and craving coffee!-suggestions?

[Natasha K 27]

6 days post op and feeling better. Those post op blues were intense! I hope that is over! I'm craving a cup of coffee today, but know it might not be good on my pouch. I think I'm missing the morning habit of something warm and yummy. I tried Decaf green tea yesterday and that did not go well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I was allowed Decaf coffee. Not sure if you are on full liquids yet but I used a little SF Coffee Mate. The acid can be a bit rough so just drink a little. I get gung ho now and can get a bit queasy.

Thanks Heather. Not sure what you mean by "full liquids"? Doc said I could upgrade to puree foods tomorrow and try Protein Drinks today (small amt at first).

Oh sorry... I meant not just Clear Liquids. I was on clear for a week then regular "full" liquids. lol

I was and am allowed to have regular coffee. Doctor said it was ok. Although, I'm only able to drink about half a cup.

Be careful, a few on here have developed ulcers drinking coffee.

a friend of mine found a coffee or cappichinno flavored Protein Shake that she said was amazing! She found it at the Vitamin shop.

Thanks. I tried a bit today and realized I wasn't missing much. I only had about an ounce and then I threw the rest out.

You should try fit frappe from big train. Tons of flavors taste good high Protein and you can drink them got cold or blended with ice.

My doc said one cup of coffee or wine won't kill you. And he is one of the inventors of the new techniques and education based on RNY. Just a thought.

Hey, also look at cappuccino-flavored yogurt. Chobani has "minis" that are coffee flavored (but might have chocolate), but I'd imagine a yogurt would be a good transition?

And, FYI, I'm a coffee junkie, but am trying to give it up before surgery.
