When did you guys start drinking regular coffee again?

[ButterflyRainbow 1]

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.

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.

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

Thanks I think I'm going to try a little this weekend and see how I feel.

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.

I was allowed one cup a day at six months out.

I was told I could only have decaf..no caffeine ever again

[cocoa8utter 32]

I also was told that caffeine is on the forever Nono list!

Seriously? Shoot me. I drink what I always have.

I was told I could have coffee as soon as I was consistently meeting my Water goal. I've been drinking coffee since about 3 months post op

[samcl1 52]

Me too. They gave it to me in the hospital.

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.
