Why is it not allowed after surgery???? I just want my flavored k-cups.....I'm not asking for cakes or cookies or fried foods or side....just want my coffee. Ok ok I'm gonna quit crying now but will someone please explain it to me?

Mostly because it acts as a dieretic and we need to stay hydrated... You ate far enough out I really think you would be ok

Yes, ^^^^^ my mom is 2 years post and is back to coffee land she drinks coffee a lot!!!! But she always doubles it with Water even still.

So it's not a never ever thing.

I drink cafe at least 4 times a week decafe. I love cafe yummy.

Caffeine can be inflamatory to the new pouch following surgery which can result in unnecessary bleeding. I love coffee and I love k-cups. I switched to decaf following my surgery and was quite surprised to discover that the decaf k-cups are almost as good as the caffeinated ones. It really wasn't a difficult transition at all and I was previously not a fan of decaf at all. Donut Shop and Green Mountain make some excellent decaf flavors!

I am two months out, how long should i wait to have decaf coffee???

What about DD iced coffee decaf? My norm was Splenda with cream. If I'm able to go back to it I guess skim milk might be the way to go.

Decaf is decaf - I don't see any problem. My one ongoing indulgence is flavored creamers for my coffee. The 35 calories per cup have not been a problem and the enjoment I get is priceless!

That's a good question to ask your doctor but I would think two to three months should be fine.

I agree!! I got decaf coffee and had to have my sugar free French vanilla creamer! Haven't tried it yet since I'm only 2 days post-op, but it is one of my favorite ways to start the day. Or the afternoon, or the evening. Lol.

Good to know. I'm really jonesing for some coffee. Even worse is I really miss DD iced coffee. Might have to see if they have SF flavored creamer.

They do!! They have sugar free in French vanilla and hazelnut! Lol. I already asked when I was on my pre-op diet cause I was jonesin'!

I used to love coffee but after the surgery my taste changed and I don't like coffee!! I sure miss it.

Yeah. They believe I have an ulcer now and coffee is too acidic. I miss it too!!

I started back on coffee about 6 weeks out. My Nutritionist said caffeine is ok, just in moderation since it is a diaretic (however you spell it). I have one cup of coffee (regular, not unleaded) a few times a week. I got a Kureg for Christmas with a box of Kcups, but I think once those are used up I will switch to decaf. And I do use sugar free french vanilla or hazelnut creamers and splenda in mine, and it is just yummmm.
