How far along were you post op before your first cup of coffee?

I can't remember - it's all a fog before coffee...............

probably a month? at first it kinda gave me a sour stomach, and I only had a little bit and then waited a while to have more. now I have a cup of coffee with stevia and fairlife milk/half and half blend most days when I am at work. I do love coffee......... mmmmmmmm coffee......

first the coffee, and then I do the things........

My post surgery instructions say no coffee for 2 months after surgery. I am sad

Every plan is different. Check with your nutritionist

I was offered coffee for all my meals while in the hospital. I just didn't chance it. Just craving an iced coffee so bad!!

My plan says no caffeine ever again :(

Occasionally I have a decaf coffee with milk and stevia but that's it.

8 weeks I had my first cup and it was wonderful!!!

Yesterday I would have told you I am a sleever who cannot tolerate coffee. I am going on 8 months and couldn't stomach more than a couple sips. Very sad because coffee was my passion and only addiction prior too surgery. I was allowed coffee by my surgeon relatively quickly but I couldn't drink it!! Well that changed yesterday morning. I bought some low acid coffee on Amazon called pure roast. Success! I drank a whole cup! I felt so good and jittery ... Boy did I miss that feeling.

Of course one needs to follow their own bariatric plan....

Now, to answer your question.

I had coffee --just sips---the day I had surgery.

Coffee was figured into my bariatric journey from step #1. My Nut, surgeon and therapist were all aware and approved the final decision.

Ask your team. It never hurts to ask.

Best wishes .
