Every doctor is different. I have 20oz of coffee or tea, the caffeine version everyday.

My doc says no caffeine or carbonation because it irritates the stomach. I'm am going to have the hardest time giving up my diet coke... Ugh!

You shouldn't drink the diet coke because of the carbonation. It expands in your pouch and can be very uncomfortable. My doctor allows 2 cups of caffiene per day, coffee or tea. They do warn that caffeine can cause your appetite to increase. Fortunately I like de-caf. I am a big tea drinker.

I have two cups of coffee a day.

It was explained to me by my nutritionist that caffiene inhibits the absorption of Calcium. Now, I admit that right after surgery I did not drink it - I simply didn't want it - but now, almost two months later, I'm drinking about 1 to 2 cups in the morning. So... it's the one rule I am actively breaking.... so sue me

It's so funny. You'll soon find that alot of the doctors give different versions of this. Mine gave no restriction on caffeine or soda and I asked specifically. I don't know why but after surgery I didn't want any coffee anymore. Just recently, however I started getting into lattes. I LOVE them. Oh well. I stopped drinking soda before my surgery, maybe 6 months to a year before surgery. Just didn't like it anymore. I've recently craved it but havent had any. My doctor said soda is fine, but who knows?

My doc says no coffee because it's an appetite stimulant.

I find exactly the opposite to be true for me. When I drink my cup of coffee in the morning I don't feel like eating until about 11 am.

What can I say, it's all I have left!

I gave up soda long before surgery, but I like to have a warm cup of tea in the morning. It does delay Breakfast for me until much later also.
