Just curious, I remember my nutritionist said I can have 8oz once a day, however when? I'm almost 3 weeks post op.

I was served decaf in the hospital-post op. I drink it every day and mix with my protein (chocolate-which makes it taste like a mocha) some days I nix decaf and regular.

Oh great thanks so much. I think one sip will give my body that boost

I was a daily coffee drinker pre op and my doc told me I was ok to drink coffee post op. I drink it caffeinated with sf French vanilla and Splenda and I tolerate it just fine.

Oh, and same here, I was served coffee in the hospital but it was awful so I only had a couple of sips.

I wasn't serve coffee in the hospital. But I am sure going to have a cup decaf in the morning. .. Thank you

I can't start drinking coffee or decaf until week 8. Then ony 16 ozs regular or 32 ozs of decaf.

Did you know why? I think I better wait until Monday to double check with my nutritionist. Thank you.

I was told I could drink caffienated or decaf and I have been drinking arizona diet iced tea (with caffeine) everyday since i got home from the hospital...whats up with the caffiene anyway...someone said it acts as a diuretic, but not for me...

I was told not anything with caffeine. The reason us that caffeine actually pulls fluids from your body and we are already struggling to keep hydrated. Your body doesn't need caffeine do why put something in it that will only harm you. I was a caffeine freak pre op. I occasionally mix a bit of instant decaf in with my chocolate Protein now and that's it.

Preop weight 389 current weight 314...that's 75 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

I was told no coffee and only decaf tea. It's a diuretic and is irritating to the healing pouch. So I quit my coffee two months before surgery and something amazing happened - I started sleeping through the night! I have had trouble sleeping for 27 YEARS. I may never drink it again. :-)

wonder why so many doctors are different?? My doc wont let me have salad and other people on here are eating it...now the conflict with decaf vs caffeine?? WTH....wish there was a universal weight loss surgery rule book...lol

So here's my theory. My nutritionist said no more pasta, potatoes,fruit, etc forever. But the reason I had the surgery was for diabetes, I wasn't necessarily obese but I couldn't get my blood sugar under control. So I think my doc was a little more lax with me than he would be a morbidly obese patient.

I think we ALL would like a universal wls book!

Would make all of this so much easier.

Same for me. I had a whole caffeine cycle going on. Once I quit...I sleep better. I stay awake through the day better. My attention seems better. I'm done with the caffeine.
