2 weeks out and I've been enjoying decaf coffee. Is it too soon? I hear the acid in it isn't good for the tummy but I've been having no problems. I could drink it everyday but wondering if that's a good idea or not...

Not sure what your Dr recommended but I was having a regular coffee from after week 2. Hasn't been a problem.

My paperwork says coffee, regular or decaf is fine, but limit to two cups per day.

I think there's a mistake on your paperwork. Decaf isn't fine! blech!!

My doc said no coffee or tea - regular or decaf for a YEAR. I drink herbal tea but it is just not the same - but since I'm a rule follower (always have been) I will work to follow his instructions. I do miss it tho.

Decaf tea and coffe were on my two week post op plan, but unfortunately... Since surgery, the coffee tastes awful! I have noticed that many flavors have intensified. I thought it was the horrid hospital jello, but found out that most flavorings are way too strong. I was a huge coffee lover pre op and have been completely disgusted the two times i tried it. I had maybe 2 oz and then dumped the rest! I so hope this disgust extends to simple carbs !

I could drink decaf from 3 days out

They gave me decaf black with splenda or sweet n low, at the hospital. It is a natural laxitive. Also it is on my required liquid intake sheet at least 4 to 8oz a day. For 21 days. So I enjoy it also warm decaf tea. hope that helps. If you have questions call your doc office.
