How soon after surgery have you started to drink coffee?

3 months. I start each day since with a scoop of GENEPRO in my black coffee, no sugar

What a GREAT idea about the Protein shake as a creamer!! I'm pre op but will test it this week. Awesome idea.

It tastes really good, especially when you like your coffee sweet.

Day 8 post op we are allowed coffee and thankfully not stuck on Decaf. A cup a day keeps the bowels happy.

Just had to comment here. I hated even the smell of coffee before bypass now 6 months out I crave it. Decaf sf of course. Not sure what the crave is if there is no sugar or caffeine in it or even why. Definitely my sense of smell and taste drastically changed

If you're not taking PPIs, I wouldn't drink coffee (decaf or regular) for at least 6 months post surgery as it increases your risk for ulcers.

So, I'm currently enjoying a Decaf ice brewed coffee with an unsweetened vanilla shot in it. My future self answered my old self's question 😏. Actually, I've been drinking 2-3 oz of decaf after the first week.
