Coffee post op

[monica36 15]

For how long after surgery won't I be able to have coffee?

You will have to ask your surgeon/nutritionist, because every program is different. I personally was not allowed to have caffeinated coffee until 30 days post-op and when I reintroduced it initially, I was only allowed one cup with lots of cream to dilute it. I gradually was allowed to work my way back up to more cups and less cream.

Thanks for the information

Length of time will vary from surgeon to surgeon, but as a severe coffee addict before surgery, I can happily report that my desire for it has fallen precipitously. I imagine the root cause is not as much food coming in to cause the food comas. About a half a cup a day kills any headaches associated with caffeine withdrawal, and my base heart rate has come down as a result.
