When did y'all try a little bit of coffee for the first time? Normal coffee, not de-caf.

Good topic... 5 days post op and having withdrawals....

Have you tried any decaf? In preparation for having to give it up I tried some Do Nut shop decaf the other day and it was pretty good.

Will it give me that same twitch I'm looking for?

My program required waiting 60 days and believe me on day 61 I had some coffee! At night after dinner, I have the Krispy Kreme k cup decaf and it is pretty good. I have 2 cups regular in the morning.

On day six the spiders start coming out from under the bed in droves...just saying

I was a habitual caffeine drinker and drank it up to the day before surgery... Haven't had any caffeine since 12/15, but haven't had any issues... And I worked in coffee for 7 years prior. I didn't expect the easy comedown from it but maybe my pain meds helped out the first few days ????

My surgeon allows it after 2 weeks but I am afraid to try it. It gave me heart burn before surgery.

My plan says no caffeine for a year as it can mess with your new pouch

3 months...and it was delicious!

Thanks guys, was just wondering. Seems everyone's program is different. I'll stick to mine, but it's all good to know. For now, de-caf it is!

Any wisdom for day seven?

Seriously, the caffeine withdrawal is probably what I am dreading the most. I'm due for surgery next Tuesday...I have gotten from 3 cups in the am down to 1 so far. I quit coffee for both pregnancies and the initial headache really sucks. It passes, but that is the part I dread. Hopefully my gradual taper here during liquids week will ease me into the caffeine free New Year!

I agree. I didn't want to be dealing with caffeine withdrawal while also recovering from surgery, so I weaned myself off of caffeine gradually in the months leading up to surgery.

Make sure you ask your surgeon and don't assume what you read here is the same for everyone. I just read my post op diet on the puree stage and I can drink coffee. It just states that it can't count towards my liquid consumption for the day.

It said you can have caffeine? Wow lucky!
