I asked my Dr. about caffeine...she says it is Ok, just don't put sugar and cream in it...definately check with your doctor, but I was stressing about it, and she said I should definately drink Decaf presurgery, as the nurses in the hosp will only serve decaf at the hosp. But when it is time to start drinking warm...regular coffee is ok. Again, check with your doctor, as there is a debate as to whether caffein or decaf...some docs feel the research shows it can contribute to ulcers...

I started regular (non herbal) tea at about 5 weeks out.

I felt better waiting and just stuck to non caffiene teas until then, give the stomach some time to heal. I never asked my doc either way because I know there are lots of different views about it.

I'm 9 weeks out now and still haven't gone back to coffee yet. Not sure when/if I will.

Keep in mind that caffeine is known to spark hunger.

I think "woo woo" has the right idea...wait til the healing is complete! And, the comment about caffeine sparking hunger...hunger, what hunger? :P

@@GoAllTheWeigh LOL true, but one day when the honeymoon phase is over and you're downing that caffeine a couple times a day you may wonder why the hunger is back full force. Take a stroll through the veterans board... it happens ;)

Oh, trust me, BobbysWife, I don't purport to know a thing here...I only posted about the caffeine as it will be an issue for me! I was joking when I said "what hunger"... I look on here for everything and every answer...trust me! :rolleyes:

Oh dear, I am 8 days out. Feeling great. Water (which I drank tons of before VSG), makes me nauseous and as soon as I realized the problem I switched to herbal teas. I had not been told about not drinking hot liquids. Of course I assumed that since they served me hot broth in the hospital it would be ok. I mentioned the tea to my surgeon yesterday and he did not say anything. Now I am worried.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
