Coffee 4 weeks post op?

[Tootsie760 11]

I know caffeine is a no no, but did anyone drink Decaf coffee 4 weeks post op? TIA!

[Kaylamh 144]

Yes! I've been allowed to have Decaf coffee the whole time. I was only allowed to add milk at my full liquid phase, and still sugar free.

My doctor had no restriction on coffee. I've had black coffee in moderation from the beginning. No sugar, no milk. Hasn't been a problem.

I had regular coffee with cream on my way home from the hospital and every day since!! Maybe it was just me, in Canada, but I didn't get a lot of guidance before or after surgery. 2 1/2 yrs later, I'm still healthy!

I'm allowed skim milk so I just use it with my morning coffee. Which I usually only drink about half....I drink caffeinated coffee, sweetened with sweet n low and a little skim milk.

WOW! I guess this didn't bother you.

It was a McCafe coffee and I don't use sugar. I sipped on it during the ride home. I had a Migraine from going without coffee in the hospital. I felt getting rid of the headache was worth it but it was probably not wise and I sipped very slowly. I'm not advocating it, just sharing my choices!

I drink about 10-12 oz a day regular coffee. Black. I'm 7 months post op, but started drinking coffee again after about 3 months. My dietician was just adamant that I get my liquids in.

I am 4 weeks post op and tolerate a little coffee. I drink mine black, but have tried it with cream. Either way, I only want about 1/4 cup for some reason. I did Water it down a bit when I first tried it.

[GmaDiana 81]

My Doc said I could have 2 cups regular coffee day.After that it had to be decaf.I have had no problems.

@@GmaDiana, cool. What about preop? Could you drink coffee preop?

I've had coffee since 5 days post-op. I use the Premier vanilla shake as my Creamer -- no sugars! Don't want to risk dumping. Sometimes I use the chocolate for a mocha chino-type drink. I finish my leftover shake after the coffee wakes me up and I've gotten 30 grams of Protein in by early morning, plus jump-started my bathroom trips for the day.

My surgeon has no problem with coffee, but the nutritionist gave me the business for drinking it. I went with the surgeon having no problem with it, LOL.

Make sure you get in your Pepsid/PPI 2x a day though. Coffee IS acidic, and that gurgling in your stomach may seem like hunger, but it's really your stomach acids churning. I take one with my morning coffee and then about 4 hours later, before lunch.
