when did you start drinking coffee after your surgery. im one month out of gastric bypass and craving my morning coffee

I was allowed on the first day, offered a cup in the hospital. My surgeon has no issues with it at all.

Yeah, since surgery I have 2 or 3 cups a day. If acid is a problem, I have read there are good low-acid coffee.

It's an individual thing. I'm a bypass patient, and I drink coffee - and various coffee drinks - all the time. Never had an issue.

Its been 6 week's postop for me and I have a 1/2 to a full cup of Decaf each morning with no issues! I'm RNY as well.

I don’t remember exactly (I am 2+ yrs out), but I would say around month 2 or 3. I still find that cold coffee is easier on my stomach.

I use the 30g vanilla Protein Shakes as my Creamer. My Breakfast for over a year has been coffee with a Protein Shake (either vanilla or caramel).

My program says no regular coffee for 6 months. 😭 I am a huge coffee and tea drinker. I ordered a box of assorted Decaf coffee pods for after surgery and I have decaf black tea, but it won't be the same. Everyone's program is different! I'll follow what they want though because I know they have my best interests at heart. I need to find a good decaf jasmine tea!
