Thursday, September 24 and supposed to start my shrink liver diet and I'm trying to figure out if I can have coffee when I wake up like I always do. And in my coffee there's creamer. Just looking for information that would help me decide if I should or should not have coffee next couple days. Thanks peeps

No coffee no creamer. After surgery many doctors do not recommend having coffee after surgery. I can't even stomach decaf right now. Detox off it now if you can.

I was told the same. No caffeine of any kind.

Do decaf with some unflavored protein powder

No coffee, no creamer is what I was told but every doctor seems to be different.

Most require no caffeine at all for some time. The caffeine causes dehydration which can be very bad for us. If you can detox off of coffee now I would do it.

I weened off coffee for the two week pre-op diet and for about the first 2 months post-op...however I'm now back to my coffee with sugar free creamer in the morning - but I drink half of what I used to if not less.

The only way my doc is OK with this is because I drink about 100 oz of Water daily and I've promised that if I have any sort of stomach pain at all, I'll stop.

I went almost 2 months without coffee including pre-op. Then one month post on I introduced coffee back in, started back then just a tiny bit of creamer. I can't go without it, it helps me have a regular BM.

What does your surgeons pre-op diet say?

I have noticed a lot differences in diets...

I can have caffeine, coffee or tea but no creamer. I do mix some of my Protein shake with it like a creamer. ????
