I am 17 days post op!!! I need coffee!!! With powdered no dairy creamer and equal...let me know when u had coffee!!!

Nancy, If you do decaf, you should be able to have coffee now. Add a little protein powder instead of the creamer and enjoy. Be aware that even decaf coffee can cause diarrhea issues, though.

Nancy, I'm 16 days out and I've had coffee the last couple days! My doctor said it was ok to have coffee or tea after the surgery BUT only enough to curb the headaches and/or craving! He said caffeine is not going to kill you lol but it will make you feel hungry if you're not careful! I slightly water down the coffee and add sweet n low and very very little cream and it tastes so good and is probably the easiest thing I have drank since surgery! Also, even just a 1/4 cup which is what I normally drink will give me ample energy :-)

I drank full caffeine at about 20 days, and continue to do so....My doc and nutritionist both said it is ok. I put my protein powder in it (pure protein french vanilla), shake it up in a shaker and it comes out like a latte. I add a little flavored creamer too. It's delish, and I get my protein in! I am 4 months out and 55lbs. down started with BMI of 40.
