I just started my 2 week pre op liquid diet this morning.

Surgeon says no coffee.

But I can have plain decaffeinated coffee.

--And let me tell you, I'm about falling asleep at my desk right now. No coffee sucks.

I think it depends on the surgeon; mine said I could have plain black coffee...

regular black coffee was on my pre-op list but it was STRONGLY suggested I quit it altogether, as it's not something you can drink after surgery, and weaning off of caffeine while trying to heal from major abdominal surgery does not sound like a fun experience to me.

Hi Guys,

Many thanks to everyone who replied to my question you are all the best????

Decaffeinated coffee!

all the info I've gotten is that coffee is okay. BUF decaf isn't a big thing here in sweden so I don't think anyone would think to nix caffeine altogether.

My surgeon and Nut said coffee was fine but I had already switched to decaf thinking I would have to. I'm planning on staying off coffee for now.

My dietician was fine with it too. Within reason. Pre and post op. However I just don't have the desire for it like I used to pre op.

So what is it? I'm a huge coffee drinker, fully loaded caffeine. I'm having the mini bypass in June in Tiajuana. After surgery is caffeine gone for our life? I'm willing to give it up if I have to, just gonna be rough:)

I was told by my nut and surgeon no caffeine for a year post op

I can do a year long as it's not forever. I live near Seattle where coffee is a religious brew
