Quick Coffee Question

[joshazkid1 6]

Can I drink regular black caffeinated coffee during our pre op diet up to the three days of Clear Liquids only?

[cindyw41 761]

coffee is a clear liquid but caffeine is not recommended. I've been told Decaf only.

Every program is different. Mine didn't allow caffeine for 8 weeks post surgery, so I used the pre-op diet as a time to wean myself off of it before surgery. After surgery I did switch to Decaf until the 8 weeks had passed. My NUT also recommends no more than 16 oz. of coffee daily.

Decaf should be fine but when in doubt check with your nut

after a few weeks post op I was drinking regular coffee with milk and sugar. I was also adding instand decad to my vanilla Protein shakes in the very beginning to make the taste better

My husband has a T-shirt that says " Instant Human, Just add Coffee"

Mine says to strictly limit caffeine. It's all with the caffeine being something that can dehydrate you so when we can't put a lot of liquid in...we don't want it caffeinated and dehydrating us.

Love the instant Human post. Hate Decaf coffee went off caffeine coffee 5 days ago. On pre op really miss coffee. Any one else missing coffee?

I was not allowed caffeine during my pre-op. I drank Decaf. I went back to caffeinated coffee I think a month after surgery.
