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

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!

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!

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

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.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
