I could have decaf coffee but not regular unless I had gotten in my 64 oz of water! It was Hard to switch before surgery but don't miss it at all now . Caffeine is a diuretic.

But did you have coffee and sex at the same time?

Interesting!! Thanks for the read Worth mulling over for sure.

I wasn't told we can't have coffee. I was only told to stay away from caffeine because it can make you retain water and the caffeine can effect your Vit D levels and bone density but that's ALL caffeine... I've never heard of it causing ulcers or other harm

Me too!!

Decaf only and I do fine!!!

I was told coffee was fine. In fact, I had a coffee before I left the hospital. It was a small one, and went cold before I could finish it, but it was coffee!

New studies have found that drinking coffee in moderation does not lead to dehydration, that it beneficial for endurance and performance in exercise, and the mild diuretic effect of caffeine is not strong enough to counter-balance the benefits of Fluid intake from coffee consumption. So, a cup of coffee a day can be counted towards your fluid intake. Yay for coffee!

But, yanno, do what your surgeon recommends........

When I started my pre-op diet I mentioned how I missed my "hi-test" coffee. My doctor gave me the ok to have caffeinated coffee. So, along with my protein shake I had my coffee with 2 TBSP of half and half. I have to have my morning coffee. I have a nightshirt that says "give me my coffee. and nobody gets hurt" lol. Still enjoying my coffee. Banded on 12/28/12, down 80 lbs. 60 more to goal!
