I could have Decaf in the hospital. Crazy thing though, I couldn't get my day started without caffeine before surgery and I loved coffee but I can't drink it now. No appeal at all.

I started drinking Decaf about 3 months before surgery.

I was drinking close to 2 litres of strong coffee before and definitely a caffeine junky.

After suffering through the headaches and general malaise of quitting, I vowed that I would stick with decaf only post op and never let myself get addicted to caffeine again.

To my surprise, at 5 weeks post op I have no desire for coffee at all. I've had a few decaf teas, which is a nice way to warm up in our cold climate this time of year.

Hi :)

I had my surgery on November the 14th.

I started drinking decaffeinated coffee about 5 days ago. I have around 2 big cups a day and I love it.

I also drink Decaf cold unsweet tea.

I had a huge caffeine and diet coke addiction for most of my life. I drank it all up until 3 days before my surgery, but I have now been without it for over 2 months, and my plan is to never go back. I can't say that I don't miss it -- I do and I'd be lying if I said that I don't -- but I think it is in my best interest to capitalize on my hard work of ridding myself of it.

I mostly drink Water, but I usually have 16 oz of decaf iced tea with 1 stevia packet in the evenings. That's about it. (I never was a coffee drinker...)

Aye, I was also a Diet Cokehead for 16 years prior to this year. When I read that carbonated beverages were off plan and would likely remain so either permanently or for at least a year or so, I replaced that with coffee. So instead of 2 coffees and a 52oz Diet Coke per day, I just replaced with 4 super sized truck stop coffees. 2 years ago, I was popping 6-8 wake-ups (little pink 100mg caffeine tablets) and chasing them with Diet Coke or coffee.

It was ugly, and quitting sucked but remembering those headaches helped me along. I also haven't had a single heart palpitation or problems sleeping since about 1 month after quitting.

Same. It was given to me on my tray in the hospital. I even went to my favorite coffee shop a few days ago to get a cup of Decaf and wasn't really into it.

I'm able to drink 2 oz of Decaf coffee each morning.. Full after that.. I keep the same coffee in cup so that i don't waste remainder and keep using.. Another thing that happened I do not have to use stool softener of any sort because of this.

I've been cleared for Decaf coffee on all stages. I got it in the hospital the morning after and it was amazing. Might want to check with your doctor but I think the worry with coffee is that some research suggests caffeine is hard on the stomach lining and can cause more acid production. Long story short, decaf is fine! :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
