As far as I know coffee is ok...I put it in my protein shakes..last day of liquid pre-op for me and lost 12 lbs in 14 days!!! It will get easier!!! Good luck!

I would suggest foregoing the coffee. This is why I did. I was used to several cups of coffee and would be tired and perhaps get a headache without it. I gave it up entirely a month before surgery because I did not want to complicate my recuperation with those bad effects.

I was allowed coffee on my pre-liquid diet, but it has to be black, no cream and I have been using a sugar free DiVinci Syrup to sweeten it. I do know all doctors are different and I have seen others are not allowed caffine before you might want to check with your dr. first.

I think it is okay if you drink DECAF coffee.

I am a coffee lover and I was told to drink DECAF because coffee is a duiretic.

You are trying to keep all those fluids in your body for hydration purposes and the coffee wants to get rid of it.

They will not give you coffee in the hospital.
