I know this is real silly...but when can I drink coffee?!? I was never a big coffee drinker before the surgery but now I feen for it!! I'm ,seven weeks out

I read somewhere that regular coffee and decaf both cause the same amount of irritation / acid, so from a sleeve perspective it doesn't make much different choosing decaf. I drink regular coffee during the day and a decaf with a shot of whisky at bedtime so it doesn't keep me awake and I have no problems. My surgeon said drink coffee as you normally would, if it causes acid / reflux cut down or stop, if it doesn't affect you, drink away!

Apologies just noticed this is a bypass thread. I am talking about my experiences with my sleeve. Don't know how coffee affects bypass patients, please disregard! I can't see how to delete my comment.

I drink one cup of coffee every morning and haven't had any issues and my doc said one cup was fine.

My mom had the RNY about 5 years ago and drinks coffee like it's nobody's business. I think she started a month or so post op.
