I was sleeved on 9/7 when is it ok to start drinking coffee?

There is the risk for ulcers, the sensitivity of the new stomach and most importantly it will dehydrate.

So I was told not to do full caffeine..BUT, if I do, I must make up the difference by drinking lots more Water to compensate.

I feel that I need some coffee to help me avoid constipation. It seems to be the only thing that works- so I do a cup in the morning but try to drink lots of water to make up for it.

I had surgery on Sept. 6th and was told at my 4 wk. appt. that it was OK to have some decaf. coffee. I have been having a cup every morning for the past week and have had no problems.

I just discovered Click brand. It has both caffeinated and non caffeinated versions. After trying some really unpleasant drink options this week, I am really pleased with the taste. You can order a buy one get one free sample to see if you like them or not, which is very handy. The Protein is a little bit less than some of the other options, and the carb count is higher but it really does taste good.
