Has anyone tried caffeine yet? Like a cup of coffee?

I was an avid coffee drinker prior to surgery..... Now I can't drink it. I drink hot tea instead. My surgeon said that coffee can irritate our pouches.

Thank you ... I'm just needing some caffeine to help me through the day! :/

A hot cup of tea would taste really nice right now. Wonder if I could. I thought it had more caffeine in it then coffee and caffeine is a no no to my doc.

I guess I probably should have mentioned that my tea is decaf. It's Bigelow brand that they sell at Walmart in the little boxes. I am extremely fond of the lemon/ginger and the mint. Mmmmmmm !!

I've had coffee a few times since surgery 3 weeks ago. Did fine. Tasted great, especially with sugar free peppermint mocha coffeemate creaked....oh heaven LOL

Decaf tea! I like the green tea

I love non caffeinated herbal teas and decaf coffer it I cannot tolerate much dairy in the coffee (think the surgery made me dairy-intolerant).

i was a huge coffee drinker, and now i am lucky if i have a few sips i dont like the taste anymore. pre surgery i hated tea, now i have 1 a day. weird. how taste buds change

That sounds delicious!

I love cafe. I drink it almost daily. Decafe

I had my surgery nov 2 2012. I drink about 5 0z every morning sometimes less . I had to give up wine too lol . So a few sips of cafe in the am ain't going to kill u ! As long as it doesn't hurt your pouch !!!!

Vicki,

Get some decAf tea.. I was started on it in the hospital after surgery and still drink it.

People, caffeine is a major no no...don't drink it. It will affect your weight loss and dehydration levels.
