Coffee

[sorrynomore 18]

I know Decaf coffee is ok but can anyone tell me when they were able to drink coffee with caffeine?

[princesswarrior 24]

Good question. And how are we replacing the cream and sugar?

[sorrynomore 18]

Skim milk And probably stevia. I'm heading back to work this Wednesday and I'm actually thinking about scraping the coffee altogether but still it would be nice to know lol

I was sleeved on Oct 13.

I'm at work tonight and about to have my second cup of real coffee (as per my doctor's instructions).

I was able to since the 4th week out.

[princesswarrior 24]

I am considering the same. I drank coffee all day at work. I have become so accustomed to having a cup on my desk. If I were going to stop, this would be the time... I am undecided.

Depends on the Dr. Mine said six weeks minimum as it constricts the vessels and can interfere with healing. You know, there are these concentrated coffee thingies in the coffee aisle. I bought one. You put the tiniest of squirts into your drink and it gives it coffee flavor and a bit of caffeine. I tried it preop in my hot chocolate.

I'm doing fine with out the caffeine but I'm also home lol I'm a nurse and when I go back I'm on my feet all day Blah blah blah lol so it'd be nice to know I can if it came down to it lol

I was allowed caffeine after one month. I have it everyday with either almond milk and artificial sweetner. A few days a week I do use Creamer.

No problems whatsoever.

I did the Decaf for about a month and then went back to the regular blend. I haven't had any issues - I am drinking some now - black. I can drink mine with or without sugar/cream. Just has to be GOOD coffee and preferably NOT decaf.

I'm glad to see this. I miss coffee so much. I'm currently one week out. My surgeon never said anything about coffee because I stopped drinking it a month before surgery. Do you guys ever have Decaf this early?

[Kathy812 794]

@@kris421, I was allowed Decaf after one week. Some people drank coffee from day one.

But, please don't follow what "we" do. Please follow the instructions from your nutrionist . Hopefully they'll give you the green light.

Thank you! I just want to see that people are drinking it again haha. I've definitely been following what my surgeon and nutritionist say. I don't have an appointment until Friday though. But thanks for the hope that someday they'll okay it! (:

I'm allowed 1-2 cups of regular or Decaf coffee in both pre and post op. No sugar though! My surgeon prohibits any tea -- says the tannins can irritate the pouch.

Chike Nutrition makes two versions of the their coffee/mocha Protein powder that mixes really well with Water and ice.

Great stuff that tastes really, really, good. I sometimes throw in a scoop of vanilla or chocolate powder with it.

Highly recommend it.

I don't drink coffee but I drink iced tea a few times a week. I never bothered with Decaf. I have heard caffeine is an appetite stimulant so be careful if u choose to have caffeine.
