Decaf To Regular Coffee

[Bruce1965 8]

Hello all. I am 3 days post op and all is well. At what point can the switch be made from decaffeinated coffee to caffeinated?

[cheryl2586 3,053]

Some people are allowed to drink regular coffee. I was told never but that is my surgeon and they are all different. I would call and ask them.

i had to do Decaf before surgery. after they said i can do decaf or half and half...so that is what i do....but always refer to your dr if you want to know any answers that relate to you as you will get different opinions on here..

My dietitian says NO coffee due to stimulants in the drink, which mat trigger you to eat wrong foods. My surgeon says it's okay just drink in moderation. I drink 1 cup every morning, sometimes 2 on a Friday. But, I was a big coffee drinker before my journey.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm not a huge coffee drinker by any means but do miss my 1 coffee a day (2/3 on weekends). Maybe I'll try 1 a day. I'm not worried in the least about cravings. I thought there may be potential for aggravating the stomach while still recovering. Tks again everyone.

I am a big coffee fan, but I did switch to 1/2 caf recently. I told me surgeon that a no coffee rule would be a deal breaker to me and I meant it at the time. Now, it's really not such a big deal...

Do whatever your dr says, that's all you need to do.

I was on Decaf for a few weeks after my surgery, but went back to caf and it doesn't trigger anything for me. I even have my two teaspoons of sugar & CoffeeMate. I only drink one cup a day though.

Hey all, on the 30th november it will be my second band. And i asked the first doc can i have coffee and he said yes!!! I love my coffee, so at cafes have a cafe latte for less milk and fat. Im in melbourne, Australia and tea an coffee and wine and alchoal are allowed!!! So in between meals when your not eating a coffee doesnt count as a meal! Just use low fat milk and low GI sugar, raw low GI sugar is my favourite. I never felt when i had the band coffee did anything but satisfy me. Hope this helps!!!! Real not decaf!!!
