I know we're not allowed to have caffeinated coffee, but how long after surgery did you wait to have Decaf coffee? I'm dying for a cup of coffee and decaf is good enough for me, but I'm only just over a week post op and I don't know if the coffee is okay for my little pouch yet

I had a venti iced Decaf from Starbucks exactly four days after surgery...I drank the whole thing over about an 1.5 hrs and it was just as delicious as before surgery. And while clothes shopping no less! It was such a great feeling.

My nutritionist recommended avoiding drinking with a straw as it introduces gas, but I tested it out lightly a few times and I had no problems, so I've continued to use a straw.

Best of luck!

I had my 7 day post-op visit on Tuesday and my NUT told me I could start having decaffeinated coffee and tea already.

My hospital served me Decaf the day after surgery. And btw not everyone is forbidden from having caffeine. Different doctors, different rules. ^_^

My dr doesn't restrict caffeine. ACtually, thats not true. He said "moderate caffeine intake". The hospital gave me a reg cup of coffee the next day. But it smelled horrible (and I'm a huge coffee lover) so I didn't drink any till about 3 weeks post op. And I only drink real coffee. No Decaf here. Not really sure why such a huge disparity in drs orders on caffeine. My nurse told me that they give out so many rules, this is such an unimportant one so he doens't make a rule on it.

@@kelseycakes20 I think most surgeons don't mind you having Decaf coffee but I hear nectar Protein has a fabulous Cappuccino flavored Protein Powder mix so if you just love coffee you may want to check it out PLUS you will Be getting protein, win win!

They tell us that the acid in it can cause ulsurs in our new little pouch

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
