I'm one week post-op, I haven't had any caffeine since prior to my surgery. When is it okay to have caffeine again? I'm dying to have a couple sips of cuban coffee... I'm from Miami it's everywhere I turn!

It is ok when your Dr. says it is ok.

I had to wait one month after my surgery but I feel your pain. Hang in there it's was worth it.

I never had any restriction on caffeine.. just soda not coffee.. I know all Dr's are different but I drank coffee throughout my pre-op and post op diets.. I have my coffee In the morning with a little heavy cream... and truvia... Cuban coffee is really good... I told my Dr. that I didn't smoke, I don't drink and sex at my age ain't that great so I wasn't giving up my coffee... he laughed...

LOL I have to agree with your doctor, thats pretty funny!

I did. not and will not ever give up my coffee. I could give up food believe it or not if I had a choice lol. I told my doctor and his nurse that my pre-op diet was doing fine but only because I refused to give up my coffee. Then his nurse jumped in and said you can have coffee but to limit it. I drink two cups a day with my measured out half and half and log it into my calorie count on my fitness pal. I've been drinking my coffee since Dec 14th and I'm down 47 lbs! I wish it were more but I'll take 47 lbs anyday!

like the others, my dr said coffee was fine.i drink 2 to 4 cups per day

stupid question so forgive me, but what exactly is cuban coffee?

Cuban coffee is like a super charged type of expresso coffee, delicious but it does have quite a bit if sugar so it looks like I won't be indulging in it for some time.
