I wasn't cleared until 30 days post-op, bu I literally counted down the days. Rejoice in getting to have it so soon! Just make sure you go easy on it and dilute it with a lot of cream in the beginning to make sure your tummy can handle it okay.

They told us only Decaf everything for the rest of our lives. Caffeine can cause ulcers, and make gerd worse, that's my program, enjoy

It IS dreamy!

Mind if I ask ... since so many Dr.s and Nutritionist want us to stay away from caffeine (like all of mine) did they offer you a reason, as to why they have allowed it in your case? What's their reason? I've been driving myself crazy reading about the controversies over caffeine and coffee and other forms of caffeine.

Because if this does generate GERDS in the long term, then I need an Rx for amphetamines or provigil or something, lol. Since you know, the pill won't give me gerds!

I will toast to that...(coffee mug raised high).

I'm a month out and was just cleared for coffee. Went to Trader Joe's and bought their low acid French Roast. The acid causes ulcers, not the caffeine. I am usually a 3 cup a day drinker, but I was happy with just one cup (just black for me). We'll see how things go.
