Yardsleever 81 Posted January 1, 2017 I know each practice is different, but my doctor allows 12oz of coffee per day from day one. I add GENEPRO to my one cup a day to have it do double duty! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimi52 103 Posted January 1, 2017 My DR told me no caffeine for first 30 days. I did drink Decaf just to get taste of coffee, started drinking 1 cup reg coffee a day after 30 days. My stomach cannot handle more than that. My surgery date was 9/27. Good luck. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PB42 34 Posted January 1, 2017 My group said any caffeinated drink would not count toward my liquid goal. I am 3 months in and still drinking Decaf tea. coffee tasted terrible when I tried it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frenchie1977 262 Posted January 1, 2017 Admittedly I totally cheated on this one. My doctor told me no coffee for two months after surgery but plenty of other doctors allow coffee right away so I started drinking coffee again 3 days after surgery. Obviously I recommend following your doctors orders, it did not effect me and it has always went down fine with no ill effects but entry of people in my Facebook group tried it early on and could not tolerate it so proceed with caution. Obviously don't try coffee again until you are getting in all your liquids and Protein on a daily basis, I had no trouble with this so it was not that big of a deal, but if your not meeting liquid and protein goals I definitely wouldn't waste stomach space on coffee.

81Kellogram 101 Posted January 1, 2017 My team allows coffee right after surgery and I can count it as Fluid. It was very bitter the first week, but now I look forward to it every morning. I used to drink three cups but now just one satisfies me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
