Everyone's plan seems really to vary on coffee so definitely ask your surgeon. I personally abstained for nearly a year and actually never missed it. When I went to SBUX, I would order a skinny, vanilla steamer, which is just steamed nonfat milk with sugar free flavor so I never missed the coffee and still got to enjoy the experience of going out with friends.

I am allowed Decaf coffee only but I don't remember for how long.

I have one cup, but instead of it being completely empty calories I add GENEPRO Protein powder AND a spoonful of Fiber.

I just decided to give it up completely for 6 weeks. Now I'll drink half decafe/half regular if I'm feeling tired, maybe once a week. You don't miss it as much as you would think you would. I did have horrible headaches the first two weeks i went without. I would suggest quitting at least 2 weeks before surgery, you don't want headaches from caffeine withdrawal as your healing from surgery.

I was required to be off caffeine for three months post surgery. I went off it 6 months pre-surgery on my own. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I love a strong cup of hot tea and I basically lived on an iced tea drip. I drink Decaf of both now. I can "officially" have caffeine on 01/26/2017, but I am not sure that I will.

I was allowed coffee at 30 days post-op, heavily diluted with milk in the beginning and only one cup a day. I am now back up to 3 cups a day with a normal amount of Creamer.< /p>

My plan says Decaf coffee is OK.

I put one packet of the instant stuff into a shaker bottle along with a vanilla or caramel Premier Protein. I also make "ice cubes" from the shakes and dump a few in to keep it cool. Pretty good!

my plan didn't want caffeine for about 6 weeks post op and then when allowed, only one 8oz cup a day (the 8oz rule was more due to how acidic coffee is and risk of ulcers).

I waited 3 months and now have my one cup a day.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
