Decaf. Coffee

[Alyssa0102 24]

I know it's probably okay, but I have been drinking Decaf coffee with a splash of chocolate milk lately. They told me coffee was a no after surgery but I don't understand why decaf is terrible? Someone elaborate for me, pleaaaaase?

I don't know why Decaf wouldn't be okay. Actually my NUTand surgeon both said regular coffee is okay as long as I can tolerate it.

I asked the doc about the coffee, its the caffeine some people dehydrate too much to be safe drinking it, Decaf is acceptable.

My NUT told me Decaf is just fine. I have had no problems with it. I am 6 weeks post-op and have been drinking it for several weeks now.

I was never told to stay away from coffee. I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk (30 calories per cup). I haven even discussed this with my surgeon and he said it was fine!

Funny, the hospital brought me Decaf coffee for "breakfast" on day 2. I didn't drink it but have since I've been home. I am on day #6.

What about a little non dairy Creamer in the Decaf? I'm 7 days post op and still waiting for the signs of hunger before I eat anything. I'm thinking no but wondering.

Thanks, all! I love Decaf coffee with a splash of chocolate Fairlife milk!

Just be careful with liquid calories. They won't fill you up, so it's really just a waste. I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk (30 calories per cup) and I use about 1/2 cup for a 16 oz cup of coffee. Good luck!

I was thinking more the powdered creamer over the liquid.
