Hi everyone,

I am almost 1 week post op and was wondering has anyone tried a cup of coffee yet? Today is my last day of the full liquid diet?

As long as it's Decaf you should be fine. I can't stomach the thought of coffee :-( my surgery was last Tuesday.

coffee can effect healing, ask your surgeon, but you may need to wait longer. If the surgeon OK's coffee, you definitely want to stay with Decaf. This soon out, you need to be careful about things that contribute to dehydration.

I was given Decaf in the hospital the day after surgery -- make sure you follow your surgeon's/RD's plan though.

Sleeved 12/23. My surgeon has coffee on her liquids lists. Only restriction is limit to 16 oz. Had Decaf the first week post-op then switched to one cup of regular in the morning. No problems. Call your nutritionist or surgeon and ask for their guidelines.

Some doctors allow coffee but most US docs do not. I was told no caffeine. I have been having the occasional cup since my 6 week f/u but I'm not a daily coffee drinker

I am allowed after 2 weeks. Happy about that.

I have been drinking coffee since day 2 and not the de-caffe type.My surgeon is fine with it and i have had a trouble free recovery back to work after 10 days,and no pain or sickness.I guess it just depends on your surgeon.I am 65 years old and still working full-time.This surgery has been heaven sent for me.Pippinleicester.

I'm allowed it whenever--whoop whoop! I'm going to tell my surgeon to have one ready for me in the recovery room...perhaps a venti latte with skim.

I had coffee five days later and I am fine with it . I have been getting small with skim milk and sweet n low .

I've had Decaf and hate it! I'm a daily coffee drinker and it's been hard. I'm in week 2 now and thinking about getting the good stuff!

I think I waited until after my 2 week f/u and then only small doses sporadically. Thankfully it hasn't bothered me.
