I was just wondering about coffee this morning. After surgery, will I be able to drink coffee at all?

My surgeon discouraged caffeine post surgery because he said it's an irritant to the stomach,and increases stomach acid production which might increase risk of getting a gastric ulcer. I'm not much of a coffee drinker anyway, now soda on the other hand, I will miss!

My surgeon said that caffeine is a natural diuretic and can lead to dehydration. I'm to avoid it for 3 months.

I haven't been much of a coffee drinker, but I will have a cup of Decaf once and awhile but I cannot have it because of my acid reflux is horrible even before and after surgery.

Acid is the problem. Does not dehydrate, the Water cancels out the caffeine. Don't figure coffee in your daily water intake, though.

Coffee has saved me from the repercussions of morning grumpiness many times. :D

I don't suggest anybody drink coffee it was suggested by my nut and surgeon to not drink coffee but I still do I did some research and I feel that it is ok for me. The main concern was that it is a diuretic and so causing dehydration. However I consume enough fluids to correct that. However like I said I do not suggest what I do for others to follow.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
