If your surgeon says it's OK then you might as well try it. I know some people were drinking coffee day after surgery. Every time I Tried it hurt. Took about 6 months before I could tolerate a small cup. I can now drink it fine, but if I have too much it gives me gastritis and I have to take antacids. So I mostly stick with tea.

My program says no caffeine, even in coffee and such. I even had to give up my favorite crystal light flavor because it had caffeine in it.

Mine say no coffee or caffeine for 6 months post-op because it dehydrates. Even Decaf has tiny amoubts of caffeine

My surgeon said no coffee for a month. Also recent studies have confirmed that coffee is not a diuretic unless caffeine consumption is over 400mg per day.
