Drinking coffee?

[terrymurua 13]

Just wondering, can i drink coffee?. I'm on my 5th week Post op. I typically drank it very light. I know that's it's different for people who have had the gastric bypass and I don't know anyone who has had the sleeve

My surgeon said not for 6 months. Major bummer for me because I loved, loved, loved my coffee. I gave it up only 4 days before my surgery. I have seen another post somewhere that said we could have caffeine after 3 months. So while I plan to follow my Drs orders, it would be nice to know what everyone else has heard from their surgeons.

I was told 2 weeks. Planning my trip to Starbucks for my flat white ☕.

I'm also planning on having the sleeve. My doctor advised no caffine for 6 months. The caffine quickly metabolizes and can cause dehydration.

Ask your surgeon. I had to wait 8 weeks post op for caffeinated coffee. I have only rarely had a latte as it seems a lot of calories given what I take in but maybe if it was with Protein it would be worth it.

My surgeon said...never. no caffeine at all. Haven't decided if I'll follow it, but at least wait for 6 to 12months.

there are a lot of different plans out there. I was allowed after a few weeks and I have my cup of coffee daily. it allows me to dress myself and use grown up manners.

My surgeon said coffee was fine, but limit it to 2 cups a day. Tea is completely okay and encouraged on my plan. I was drinking coffee the day after surgery. The only thing that has been an issue for me is acid reflux, but it is not necessarily from the coffee, as there are plenty of spicy foods to be had here in TX, and that is something I have always enjoyed. I am learning to keep the spicy foods to a minimum. And the coffee? I find that I don't enjoy it as much anymore. At the suggestion of someone else on this site, I started mixing it with my Protein Shake over ice, and it really makes both go down better!

I was told no caffeine at all. It can eat away at the lining of the stomach. I asked if I could have icetea and she said no only Decaf. I drink decaf coffee and decaf tea now. Not a big deal to me.

Thanks I remember in one of the classes I took they said we could have Decaf but wasn't sure. Thank for all of your posts! Very helpful!

Been told go easy - caffeine can be bothersome still. coffee in and of itself isn't an issue with my nut

I just had my nutrition classes and they said we could not have regular coffee until the two month mark, then reintroduce it slowly.
