my surgery is friday 420, ive done everything they asked of me including loose my 10%. But i cant seem to kick the coffe, will this affect my surgery, Will i still want to drink it after surgery? Can i say goodbye tomarrow? One last cup wont hurt right?

I'm almost one year out and enjoy coffee every day. In fact, I can hardly function in the morning without it. I waited until I went on solid foods after surgery before I started back, but you'll be able to drink it again, no matter what anyone tells you. By the way, I've lost 113 lbs since my surgery and only 20 lbs to go to my goal. Good luck!

Pssst. Don't tell anyone, but I drink beer, too! shhhh!!

Have you tried decaf coffee?

I was a regular coffee drinker, drank about 3-4 mugs a day of caffeinated coffee. Then just went cold turkey & been about 5 weeks now & doing great!

So haven't felt the need for coffee, but heard decaf coffee is okay if you needed that coffee fix!

Why kick coffee? Honestly, giving up so many other things we love during the post op phase is hard enough! I never did give it up though I can tell you I had very little of it for the first month or so post op because I was focusing on Protein shakes and Water.

I still drink a protein coffee every other day or so, and I drink coffee every single day. I cannot drink as much as I used to, though, and that's fine.

The only issue could be how you drink your coffee. If you add tons of sugar and cream you'd better track those calories!
