I'm 12 days post-op today. I have been getting my fluids in without a problem for about a week now. Can I have regular coffee if I make sure to hydrate extra today? Or will the caffeine make me sick more than just by dehydrating?

My nutritionist's paperwork says "coffee" on day 3, but it doesn't specify decaf even though I'm kind of assuming that's what he meant.

I was told to limit my coffee intake, so I heat up a cup of milk in the microwave and then top it off with about 4 oz. of coffee. I get 8g of Protein and it tastes wonderful. Maybe it's just the hot beverage I needed, but I drink it first thing in the morning and again around 3. Wonderfully satisfying!

I drink it at least once a day with a pure protein shake and sf Torani syrup mixed in! It's delicious! Like a fancy coffee from Dutch Brothers! Plus I get 30gms of protein in each one! My NUT ok'd it for me! I have two on my weekends!

Oops just realized I already posted this comment! I guess I am really excited about it!

I didn't have coffee until 9 months out. The doctor and nurse said it could stress out the stomach and cause heartburn. After three month appointment they said you can try it. I didn't because I was over the withdrawals and didn't want to deflect from what I was doing.

A couple of weeks ago I was getting low on energy and decided maybe caffeine could help me out and it did. There was probably better things I could of done but now I'm back on the coffee train. Just be focused on your goals before jumping off into a different direction. Good luck.

My program allows for decaf after the first three days, but no caffeine at all (coffee, tea or otherwise) for eight weeks following surgery. The NUT told us they didn't want us to have any caffeine until the sleeve is fully healed.

I think I'm ok to drink but I also know for sure that I am a recovering caffeine addict, the only time I feel a spike is when I have tea, and the food commercials and restaurants I pass don't phase me, it's when I walk into a store and see the energy drink aisles, especially convenience stores in the coolers, Monster, Red Bull, Starbucks, oh man I'm shaking lmao.......

my doctor said one cup of coffee with caffeine a day is okay( as long as ur keeping up with water intake) ...but to make sure it's black or with alittle skim milk if anything. when I used to suffer from kidney stones and dehydration my urinologist used to say for every drink that's a diuretic, up your water by 8oz to cancel it out. hope that helps!

My biggest issue is that I love coffee with cream and sugar. I've tried drinking it with Splenda and can't. So I gave it up before surgery and haven't wanted the extra calories after. So, no coffee for me

I'm 2 weeks out from surgery and I had been drinking sugar free iced tea mixes in my water. I didn't realize they had caffeine and I had horrible acid reflux even while taking the prescribed Pepcid. My instructions say decaffeinated coffee for preventing dehydration and acid reflux. Oops!

My nut told me caffeine can cause micro ulcers. Told me absolutely none post op for 6 months at least.
