I miss my coffee so much and am counting the days until my first cup. Did anyone have problems with coffee when they started drinking it again?

I went back to my two cups with sugar-free vanilla Creamer every morning when I was ~2 weeks post-op I think, and have had no problems. Life is good.

at around 10 days post op I tried a little bit with SF creamer and have been drinking it since with no problems whatsoever. I stick to 1 cup/day though now. :)

No problems with coffee here. After all, I live in Seattle - home of the latte. I started out by drinking single shot expresso a couple times a week. I am now also having Cappuccino with Splenda once a week ( usually Saturday). Now I have about one coffee a day in the morning to help wake up.

Used to be a pot a day drinker, old corp habit. Even bought a can of Decaf for after surgery but found no need for it. Just decided to quit drinking it altogether and really have not missed it. Did go through about a week of headaches from withdrawal though.

I have been drinking coffee since the day after surgery in the hospital. I drink 3-4 cups a day without any problems. I do get a bit more jittery if I drink more than a few cups without eating. My Dr. said it was ok to drink coffee.< /p>

I mix or with my Protein shakes every morning.

That actually sounds good. I may try that and I'm not even post approval yet.

Wow!! I just signed on to ask about coffee because my NUT said it was not allowed and I quit pre-op. But now it's Fall and the Fall blends with spices are so attractive!! I bought the pumpkin Spice blend at Trader Joes and it tastes wonderful with Splenda and a splash of skim milk, and felt like I was committing a mortal sin by drinking it!! Now I've read all your posts, I feel better. Try this coffee, it's wonderful. (I will use in moderation, as I know nothing in excess is good for me or anyone)

Everyone's doc is different - mine has said coffee is no problem in moderation. I have some in my chocolate Protein drink every afternoon, and also have an occasional fat free latte. The latte is a splurge due to the carbs in the milk, I really watch what else I eat on those days.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
