My surgeon said Dr Ariel Ortiz said there are 12 health benefits to coffee and it was fine! Being a nurse we give coffee on a clesr liquid diet all the time! I started having a little bit in my protien shake like a mocha post op day 7 ! I had no problems however i made some fresh ground expresso roast this morning and feel quiet nauseated! Take it slow !

Ariel Ortiz was my surgeon as well and Lucia specifically told me no coffee until 30 days PO, so you are being naughty by not following her guidelines! Don't worry. I won't tell.

She did say to make sure to use cream or milk in my coffee to dilute it once I started drinking it at 30 days, so if you are going to be drinking it early, maybe just try that to dilute it and tone it down some.

I had my first cup 7 days post op

I had it at 1 week post op, it was on my liquid diet but decaff only. Now at 2 months post op sometimes I drink it regular but not everyday

So disappointed I had coffee and it did not agree with me. And all that anticipation what a bummer! I have started the grieving process.lol

I was also told not at all by nutritionist and surgeon. They said something about how caffeine is real hard on the stomach lining, increases hunger, and is a diuretic.

I never stopped having mine with powder cream and splenda...of course I could only hold one cup! I only have 2 now...a few hours apart usually.

coffee even though it was decaf was on my next morning tray.morning after surgery..as well as juice an tea..

6 weeks for me.

I did decaf right away with sugar-free creamer and do 1-2 cups regular/day since about 2 months post-op. My biggest splurge!

Had my first cup day after surgery once I was cleared from leak check. Now I have one to two cups in the morning and I add protein mix

I can't have regular coffee. I was recently cleared to have decaff coffee. I liked it before surgery so I looked forward to it. I didn't like coffee anymore. I like tea now. I didn't like tea before surgery. I drink decaf. I'm not sure if I want caffeine when I can have it. Getting off it was so hard-bad headaches etc. I don't think I ever want to be caffeine dependent again.

My surgeon said decaf coffee was fine 3 days after surgery.
