How much coffee is everyone taking in on their post op? I am drinking about 2 cups a day and w/ half and half and 2 Equal!

on the weekends coffee is a treat, a dessert, so not always,

on work days? coffee is how I am able to use my grown up manners. I start my work day with a 20 ounce cup with a combo of fairlife milk and half and half and stevia. I'm not much use until I get at least half of it in my. notamorningperson.

Dr's attitudes on coffee are sooooo different. My doesn't allow caffeine. When I went to the support group on Thursday, I asked the NUT why. She said there is risk for ulcers so they don't allow it. Thank God I was able to successfully eliminate caffeine from my diet. It hasn't been easy as I still want it but I'll survive.

I have 2 cups with milk...occasionally a flat white at starbucks

I used to be a big coffee (ice coffee) freak, but I've limited to less then an 8oz cup of hot w/dash of cream & sugar. I don't use sugar substitute because I just can't deal with any of there test :-(

On an occasion I might grab a small ice coffee on the weekends, but not often because I like my ice a lot sweeter.

I probably have 5 cups of coffee per day, usually made with Land o' Lakes fat-free creamer (IMO opinion easily the best fat-free creamer) and Splenda.

ive been craving a cup of coffee but I haven't drank it yet.. im a little over 2 months post op

I am just now allowed caffeine again at 8 wk post op. I can't really tolerate too much not stomach issue but gave me a bit of headache maybe. My nut is fine as long as tolerated and she said it can help "things move through system" in moderation. So that is a bonus! But have been off it for over 2 months which I would have though impossible.

I was a gotta have coffee to function but no desire since surgery

4 to 6 cups a day. Low acid coffee

I drink 2 large cups of brewed coffee, then later on I switch to decaf. So about 4-6 cups all up.

I weaned myself of Equal, as it was creating sugar cravings for me and messing with my blood sugar levels.

I use Stevia now, and add milk to my coffees.

How are you able to get the rest of your liquids in? I have my one cup after breakfast which is a protein shake and I'm unable to get the whole 8oz of coffee down.

It is easy for me now. I can now guzzle water, drink large quantities of liquids, close to 6 months post op.

Earlier on I wasn't able to, now I can.
