Coffee Ok In Liquid Stage Post Op?



Recommended Posts

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.

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

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!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
