Soooo, I'm almost three weeks out. I weaned down my two cups à day habit and have not had any since surgery. Has anyone had just a little? Like just a half a cup? Not drinking alcohol hasn't been too hard yet but I am missing the coffee

I was given decaf in the hospital the day after surgery. I waited 3 months after surgery to drink it after that (it's acidic and can be hard on a healing, wounded, stomach). But I've been drinking a couple of cups a day regularly since then, no problems.

I started drinking coffee again (the leaded stuff, no decaf! ) at about 5-6 weeks.

My one year anniversary is in three weeks and I now drink about 6-8...sometimes 10 cups a day...Splenda, a little Hershey's cocoa powder and/or sugar-free vanilla Coffee-Mate. I know, I know...that's a lot of coffee and it's really bad for me and my heart will probably explode and it affects global warming and...whatever! I enjoy it and thus far it hasn't had a negative impact, so I'm drinkin' it!

Main thing, don't rush and just find what works for you...some tolerate it fine and others have issues.

Hang in there, this early stage was by far the most challenging, however this phase will soon be a distant memory.

Good luck and Godspeed on your journey!

I started drinking coffee again 3 weeks post op and now at 4.5 months out I'm drinking quite a bit. It's my only indulgence .... This weekend I had 3 double shots of espresso mixed with 8 ounces of brewed coffee. Had a great workout that day.

I drink a pot of decaf now at 6 months post op. Tried with just one cup a few times earlier in recovery but the sleeve just wasnt having any of it until I hit the 4 to 5 month post op time frame

At 3 months I started drinking half a cup with Sugarfree hot cocoa. Having it right now.

I started to drink coffee right after my 6 week check up!

I drink it everyday!

I don't drink coffee but was a diet coke freak. I found a water with caffeine in it. Does the job. I work overnight so I need my fix. The water is called avitae water. You can get it on amazon or Office Depot .

I was in Love/Lust with coffee preop, although I only had 2-3 cups a day. I couldn't function without it. I detoxed preop and it was probably one of the hardest things to do. At 2 weeks I had decaf and it appeared my taste for it had gone but I wanted to "taste" something besides shakes. I ran out of decaf so I tried regular at 3.5 weeks. I drank just half a cup. It's really just those first few sips that seem orgasmic in the morning anyway. (Yes I said orgasmic - that's how much I loved coffee). I still mostly drink decaf tea or low lead teas but a few times a week I have regular coffe. But still, after a about half a cup, I'm done. I even went to my local coffee shop and had a small, 1 shot esspresso and 1 shot decaf with real cream. It was soooo good but I only drank about 1/4 of it. Just like everything else these days, a little is all I need.

I re-started at around 4 months post-op . No regrets - love my coffee!!!! It definitely helps with my fluid intake and " regularity" ( sorry tmi)

I started back on coffee around 3-4 weeks. The research out there on the pros/cons of coffee on weight loss and after weight loss surgery is divided in conclusions. So basically, I would go with whatever you and your surgeon are most comfortable with. For me, it has been totally fine.

I tried coffee over and over for first three months and it made me sick. At around 3 months all of a sudden I was back to loving it! I have 2-3 cups a day. Now I have to restrict the milk I love to heat with it!!
