How long post Op do I wait before I can have coffee again? I really miss it...

My doctor from Memphis TN (Wegner) said no caffeine ever after surgery. It can cause ulcers. Your stomach is more sensitive.

I was told the same. Acid reflux seems to be a harsh side effect of the sleeve. And coffee just brings is out for some people. I do not want to chance it.

I am able to have coffee and tea during the clear liquid phase it needed to be without creamer but you should be taking meds for the acid reflux already and you can get it over the counter if the Dr doesn't give you a prescription

I was told Coffer and Tea were fine once full liquids were started as long as it was Decaf.

I will have to say that coffee does not taste the same anymore I can not even get a cup down anymore just doesn't seem to be the same anymore.

Go get some coffee ..…no worries!

They gave me coffee in the hospital. I am almost 3 weeks post-op and I have a cup every other day now

10 days post surgery I had coffee. I couldnt stand it. No problems. Today is my one year sleeviversary. Down 55 lbs and 5 to go.

My day 1 diet says: "If you are not nauseated you may have black coffee in small quantities (sugar substitute, no cream )"

What about the caffeine, I'm 17 days out, is caffeine bad?

Luvbug are u drinking regular coffee?? Thanks for all your comments it's just something I really miss, hopefully it won't taste the same so I won't crave it anymore!!

Congrats coffeebean, great job!!!

There are many different opinions on coffee here. I would ask my Dr/Nut and follow their plan. That being said, I believe coffee can cause stomache issues and the caffiene can cause dehydration. Some people drink coffee later with no problems some say they are unable to tolerate.

Your best bet is to follow your drs plan..

I'm 4 months and I love coffee but I make it half decaf/half reg.

Sometimes it upsets my stomache, sometimes I get away with feeling ok

I agree with you. It just doesn't taste the same.
