Caffeine - 7th day post op



Recommended Posts

Ok I’m really watching out what I eat and tomorrow is my first test as I’m going out with friends to eat. Obviously I’ll carry my Protein Shake with me but I had a question about coffee/tea..would it be ok to have the coffee/tea with caffeine with milk? This is would obviously be just one time but I don’t want to have any ramifications. Thanks!

What does your plan say? Some are a big no to caffeine for a while but others are okay with it. Mine was no caffeine but yes to green tea (still caffeine but 1/4 of that in black tea) or herbal tea.

Caffeine can be harsh on your healing tummy - increases acid production & can cause discomfort. May be better to see how you react at home the first time than when out just in case.

I'm with @Arabesque on this one. Even if caffeine is on your plan, why risk it the first time when you're out with friends? Could be absolutely fine or could be an embarrassingly bad idea -- much safer to find out in the privacy of your own home.

My plan said no caffeine for i think a month post op. I still had it. Only in the form of the Premier Protein coffee shake that has caffeine in it. I had no issues. The milk tho may cause issues. My paperwork said to take lactaid pills for those with milk issues. But as someone said. I would test how it goes at home vs being out and having stomach issues.

I agree 100%. I didn’t have any issues with any food but some people have intolerances that cause bathroom emergencies that you would much rather have at home. Why risk it.

I would try it at home first. If there's an issue, you don't want it to happen out in public with your friends. I have caffeine every day from my Fairlife coffee Protein Shake every morning. Always have, and I've been fine. BUT, I was someone who would drink caffeinated diet soda all day every day, so my body was totally fine with a little caffeine in a shake lol

So, what did you decide to do? Hopefully you figured it out and had a great time out with your friends.

My surgeon said no to coffee while healing due to the acidity that could hinder healing. I’m only in my second week post-op but plan on having coffee as soon as it’s safe to do so! Hope you enjoyed your time with friends and hopefully it went well!

adding: I am a black coffee kinda girl:)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
