When can I have coffee? I am in phase 2

[justcalldenise 3]

Does anyone know when I can have coffee? I had my surgery on April 15th. I would really like a cup of coffee.

I'm in phase 2 and doing well. I have lost 28 pd and staying on the diet to the tee.

Thanks

I was always told coffee is a diuretic since we are prone to dehydration. We are not to drink it for awhile. Just what I was always told.

My nutritionist's recommendation was not to have coffee until I'm reaching my daily Water goals. I'm 6 weeks out and have it maybe twice a week. I've heard of other people not having restrictions at all. I also read an article recently saying there really isn't enough proof that coffee is a diuretic, the study that was conducted was very old. Either way I'm sticking with my dr's plan. You may want to call your doctor and see what he suggests

I didn't have a coffee restriction. I felt like drinking it again around week 2 or 3. Everyone's doctor is different on this one.

Keep up the good work. My plan allows Decaf at your stage and regular coffee stage 5 (1-2 cups daily).

The hospital actually offered me a cup of coffee the day after my surgery (after passing my leak test). It didn't sound good. Didn't sound good till about 3 weeks post op (and I'm a coffee addict). My nurse said that they were so strict on everything else that they allowed us a cup of coffee (without sugar, of course) as soon as u want some.

First time in my adult life I've been a week without coffee. 2nd time was 2 weeks ago when I had step throat!

Good luck to u!

I didn't have any restrictions on coffee...was told just not to drink a lot of it...so I have always had two cups a day and that is what I drink now...sorry I can't be of anymore help than that!!! Maybe you can ask your doctor/nurse about it.

I had RNY and we were told no caffeine for 30 days. Before surgery I weaned myself off by drinking half caf, I used 1/2 Decaf and half reg coffee making it weaker and weaker. After my thirty days I just stuck to drinking hot tea decaf. One day there was a little coffee left in the pot and I decided to make a frap with my Protein Shake, I couldn't finish it all. I tried a cup of decaf coffee about 7 weeks and I took a couple sips and I just wasn't enjoying it. A few days ago I tried my coffee thinking maybe I would enjoy it, I was wrong. I think my coffee days are over!

I never had to give up coffee.. I told my surgeon that would be a deal breaker. I don't have too much I can do anymore, eating, drinking , sex?..lol I wasn't about to give coffee up. good thing I had the lapband . Not sure if the rules are different for sleeve patients vs. band so I would suggest you discuss the coffee issue with your Surgeon.

My doc said to make sure I was getting all my Water in.....and it wasn't the Decaf coffee as much as what people put IN it.... He himself is a coffee addict so he understood. I am 2 mos and I have 2 cups of decaf on the weekends. I haven't had any caffeine since surgery and not sure I want to.

I gave up caffeine several months before my surgery. I should say that i am more of a tea drinker and my coffee drinking is limited. I personally don't tolerate caffeine very well and I find it dehydrates me, upsets my stomach and aggitates my already overactive bladder. I occaisionally have an iced coffee or a sugar-free cappucino with skim milk. I am 8 months post op and don't even tolerate strong, black tea very well. But from what I read here, I am the exception and not the rule as far as coffee goes.

I had regular coffee from day one. I told my doctor that I could give up food but couldn't give
