Hi just wandering whether coffee is ok during the liquid stage post op? Hubby was having one today and I wanted one so bad but he is wrapping me up in Cotten wool and doesn't think I'm allowed one? I had my surgery 5 days ago, eating fruit smoothies, homemade soup & V8 juice ATM I can have yoghurt, milk, custard whatever you can suck through a straw (hypothetically) so I know the liquid part of coffee is fine just didn't know about the caffeine? Thanks

The key is making sure you get all your liquids in. Coffee will dehydrate you. If you are having any trouble getting the amount of liquids that you are required to drink each day down then you better stay away. I had no problem at all with liquids so my NUT gave me the okay 2 weeks after being sleeved.

My packet from NUT says Water, coffee, tea, crystal lite, Jello, SF Popsicles.... But personally, I have a bit of a funky tummy & coffee seems to exacerbate it, so post-op I'll prob wait quite a while to test it out, if ever.

Like everyone thinks, it's really isn't

When I went to my 2 week check up I asked if u w

Sorry dumb phone but when I went to my 1. Week check up my surgeon said it was fine for me to have coffee and I have been drinking it every since. I am 9 weeks post op

As I have learned on this site is every doctor is different. My doctor told me I had to wait 1 month before coffee... I have noticed that now I don't even want coffee now

Thanks everyone I might hold of for a few weeks, just in case..it's not like I could drink much now anyways I can only fit in about half a cup fluids at most when I'm having a snack

I just finished a cup .....I think I drunk it to fast ....it almost came back up ......I had some at my 3day post op also ....today I'm 5 days out

I was told no coffee until week six and sadly, I didn't like it at first!!! We are coffee lovers......Star Bucks EVERY Friday after my husband gets off work, so this was alarming!!!! I went and drank Iced Tea until my 'taste' returned. I guess I was about 3 months out and all of a sudden, I was lovin' it again!!! Praise God!!!!

Be sure and ask about fruit smoothies. I was told NO fruit due to the sugar and once it was allowed, they said treat fruit as a treat, a couple of times per week. Sugar is sugar whether it is granulated or natural. Just someting to keep in mind!!!

I drink decaf starbucks with two packs of splenda. I am 4 weeks postop. I have been drinking coffee since week 2.
