ButterflyRainbow 1 Posted December 3, 2015 Hello guys, I am 9 months post op and I drink Decaf coffee everyday now and I am itching to have regular I was thinking I should at least do half cafe first, I was told no caffeine until 12 months but I also know that everyone is different and all the programs are different so I am asking for shared experience with coffee I am also looking forward to making coffee Protein drinks. Please any knowledge and experience helps me to figure out if I should try it or wait and of course listen to my gut which is saying yes its fine you have just a few more months to go! Thank you team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TXMissy 211 Posted December 4, 2015 I drink regular coffe. A cup a day. I'm 7 months post op. I use fat free Creamer and less than half a sweetener. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRexMom6525 60 Posted December 4, 2015 My doc said 1-2 cups of caffeine was fine. It's people who drink 40 ounces or more that get in trouble - just stay away from the caloric version of coffee : the Late's and such Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RuxieGirl 11 Posted December 4, 2015 I am 4 months out and have a small cup every day. No problems whatsoever and my doc said it was fine. I use a splash of creamer and am very happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jj7481 363 Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) The primary issue with caffeine is the dehydration it causes. My surgeon told me Decaf but I can tolerate 1 cup of regular coffee at 2 wks post-op. Titrate your creamer, and make sure sugar free sweetener. Everyone is different. Make sure you compensate with getting plenty of fluids. I'm intaking about 72oz of Water per day.
