I was told I couldn't have caffeine until a month after surgery, today I was cleared to have solid foods and start finding my balance with food but I'm told i have 2 more weeks left for caffeine...just curious if anyone else had this restriction and cheated? I want a good cup of regular coffee!!

I started drinking coffee as soon as I got the all clear for regular food. I also try to make sure I get my water and then some.

I think I missed the no caffeine for any length of time post op. My husband found a coffee area in my floor and when we went for walks he would make a cup to take along for the walk. I have since been drinking one cup every morning. Why did YAll get no caffeine post op?

I can't live without my coffee...I now have a "Milfa" coffee maker imported from Norway

That said;

I had my first cup less than 24 hrs after surgery...and lived to tell about it.

my surgeon actually said i could have coffee the same day i had surgery and suggested my sister who came with me bring a cup to post-op! Was wonderful!

Would not have done it if I couldn't have my caffeine
