Today I went to my bariatric nurse and we had a very tense conversation over coffee. On my 3 month check up I decided to let my nurse know that I have started to drink coffee on occasion. She was not pleased. She said in her experience drinking coffee/decaf coffee will give me ulcers. She sees it all the time that people who drink coffee/decaf coffee come back with ulcers years later. Basically she guaranteed an ulcer if I continue. I asked that I would like to see research which got her more fired up. She said this is based on her years of experience. I should never have coffee or decaf ever again.

Any truth to this? What are people's thoughts on coffee?

I'm allowed to have 2 cups a day post op for 6 weeks. After that as much as I want. My surgeon has been doing this for a long time too. She might not understand difference between rny and sleeve.

These doctors need to come up with a Gold standard. It's like the Wild Wild West when it comes to rules post op.

Decaf is actually on my approved full liquid list. Which I find strange because I think it's more acidic than regular. I figure if I can have decaf then I might as well drink regular and be sure to stay hydrated. I haven't had coffee yet. I'm 9 days out but have started regular tea even though I'm suposed to stick to decaf. I haven't had an issue with acid in the slightest but still a Lil leary of coffee. Seriously looking forward to it though! Lol
