Do I really have to stay away from coffee for 3 months after surgery. Would I be able to get Decaf. Anyone know what the issue is with coffee

I was allowed to drink Decaf immediately after surgery. Well, within a week, once I was out of the clear liquid stage. I was told to stay away from caffeine, but decaf drinks were okay.

I wonder why each surgeon is different. My surgeon says no coffee for 3 months and not to even try Decaf because there is small amounts of caffeine in decaf.

I was allowed Decaf at 1 week.

I think the caffeine restriction is due to dehydration. I have been drinking Decaf (kcups at that!). No need to say goodbye to Keurig :-)

I'm happy to hear that some of you can still get their coffee so maybe I can sneak a cup in a few times. I'm a mocha fanatic and I know the mocha would be to much just yet but just a plain old coffee would satisfy me for a bit.

I was told no coffee for 1 month. I stayed away for a month but started drinking it in day 31 with no problems at all.

I was told Decaf as well, but the last couple of times I mixed some in with my Protein Shake, my stomach started to hurt, so I've left it alone for a while. If it doesn't bother your tummy, do decaf :)

Does anyone have problems with caffiene? If i drink coffe or tea or anything with caffiene it make me feels reslly really weird.. I feel like I cant handle it anymore since surgery. Does anyone else have this problem? Im jittery and just feel weird even if I have just a half a cup.

I was told no coffee for 1 month. Not even Decaf as coffee irritates the lining of the stomach. I was allowed decaf tea day 1 post-op. And its true, if you drink caffeine you would have to take in more fluids.

Just had my first cup of coffee a few days ago and no problems.

I have been having Ice coffee every morning for the past 2 weeks. It helps me with my energy and gets everything moving (if you know what I mean) I haven't had to take the Miralax or anything. I love it my NUT and DR said no problems just drink plenty of Water through the day.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
