Am a coffee drinker. I am scheduled for lap band surgery on Wednesday . Has anyone

Drank regular coffee with caffeine ?

I have one cup of coffee every day mixed with my protein shake. I need the boost to get through the morning. .. however I did give up caffiene about 3 months prior to surgery and didn't drink any caffeine until about 4 months post op.

My dietitian said I couldn't have coffee during the pre-op diet stage or for a month post-op. At first it's mostly to detox from the caffeine, but after surgery it's because the caffeine is a stomach irritant. It can make your already stressed and swollen stomach hurt more. I'm two weeks post-op and the only caffeine I've had has been in the form of a cup of non-decaf tea this week at work. I felt fine after...but I know it's important to follow the guidelines given. My best advice is if you are dead set on your coffee, despite your doctor's instructions, give your stomach a week or two to heal and then ease back into the caffeine if you really feel like you need it. Listen to your body, it will tell you if it can handle it or not. Good luck

I was never td anything about giving up coffee. I drink two cups every morning, and one cup every afternoon. Love my coffee!

Yes ma'am everyday. Can't live without it.

My doctor allows us to have regular coffee. It was listed under the approved drinks to have in my post op fluids list. I try not to drink it much though since it decreases my appetite.

I wouldn't be able to live without my coffee. I even get the click espresso coffee protein mix. but I only drink 2 mugs of coffee in the morning and rarely have to have the protein drink. when It warms up I will love it iced.

I'm Not nice if I don't get my morning coffee. So yes, coffee for me every day!
