ElyQuint 446 Posted April 4, 2014 Add Decaf instant espresso to a Protein Shake and viola! Hot or cold latte! Make it a chocolate Protein shake and viola! Mocha! 3 Danni-doinit4me, healthymesoon and odesa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CBF1000 13 Posted April 4, 2014 I never stopped drinking coffee up to the op and after. Every Doctor has a different view on it. I had six cups of strong coffee the day before my op as I new I couldn't have too much afterwards. I didn't get any headaches or any withdrawal and I have not been dehydrated at all. I am a hardened coffee drinker though The decisions comes down to, what do you want to do. I realise my post has been no help to you whatsoever and I apologise!

pupichupi 124 Posted April 4, 2014 I drank 1 cup of coffee a day while in preop? I love my coffee, but I can't drink it now? Atleast now how I like it? I used to get Dunkin med mocha w/cream and 1 splenda, and can't have that mocha anymore, but I am trying today to have french vanilla coffee? I love my flavors and the french vanilla is sugar free, so maybe I can drink it? Drink it now cause post surgery you don't know whats going to change?

pupichupi 124 Posted April 4, 2014 Freak the calories, it's going to be hard enough to get in your fluids at first, Water and Protein, just do what you can, and have your coffee, it won't hurt you!!! But you may have to decide on a different one after cause that is a lot of calories? Try new things, your tastes for things is going to change after the surgery!!! Trust me mine has!!! 1 healthymesoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunnybaby 95 Posted April 4, 2014 I was told no coffee at all. Caffeine can dehydrate you and it is also an appetite stimulant. 1 mmhutch reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
