Decaf. Coffee

I know it's probably okay, but I have been drinking decaf coffee with a splash of chocolate milk lately. They told me coffee was a no after surgery but I don't understand why decaf is terrible? Someone elaborate for me, pleaaaaase?

      I asked the doc about the coffee, its the caffeine some people dehydrate too much to be safe drinking it, decaf is acceptable.

      I don't know why decaf wouldn't be okay. Actually my NUTand surgeon both said regular coffee is okay as long as I can tolerate it.

      My NUT told me decaf is just fine. I have had no problems with it. I am 6 weeks post-op and have been drinking it for several weeks now.

    I'm very new and wondering why decaf?

    Hi! It is because Caffeine promotes dehydration. After surgery maintaining hydration is very important to avoid going back into the hospital post op.

    My doctor says absolutely no coffee, regular or decaf, for at least the first 6 months after surgery. All coffee, black tea, green tea, white tea, chocolate, and sodas contain xanthines. Xanthines are appetite stimulants. :(

    I certainly hope I'm cleared for decaf coffee at the 6-month mark. I've been craving coffee so much I've been dreaming about it!
