When is too soon?

I'm a coffee fan so it's naturally difficult for me to be away from the richness of coffee.

What I wanna know is when is it OK to have Decaf coffee?

I'm currently 12 days post-op so is this a good time for me to be able to have coffee? Maybe just even a 1/4 cup allowance of it.

I had Decaf coffee about 2 weeks post op. my Nut. said it counted towards my liquid intake.

Everyone has different Dr orders on this.

Mine was ok with Decaf during pre-op and post-op then ok'd to try caf at 6 months.

I was allowed 8oz of Decaf three days after surgery.

I was offered coffee while still in the hospital!

I am allowed coffee (any kind) at 12 weeks, but prior to that I wasn't even allowed Decaf. Check with your doctor or nutritionist.

I LOVE/LOVED coffee...when I could start drinking it I COULDN"T stand the taste! I try every single day to have a cup and I just can't do it. My tastebuds certainly have changed!

Chike and Unjury make coffee flavored Protein Shakes that are pretty good cold. Also my grocery store sells a coffee extract for flavoring things. Those might help until your doc okays the Real Thing. I'm pre-planning for it now, as I LOVE how coffee tastes and hate to start the day without my beloved Verismo Latete. GOod luck!

Go slow if you do try it. My sleeve didnt like any coffee until post op month 4. Im now 5 months post op.

I could occassionally get it down before this with a scoop of Protein powder but not always.

Follow your drs orders on this tho. They may have specific coffee rules. Call and ask to verify.
