I notice a lot of people saying that they are drinking coffee. Is that decafe or caffeine? I stopped drinking caffeine (Diet Coke and coffee) about 6 weeks ago. I want caffeine but was told not to.

Loved coffee, 8 weeks post op it just doesn't love me [emoji30] it's just not the same taste, hot or iced. Can't get a quarter of a cup in. I gave up.

I am drinking decaf..my surgical team said no caffeine for three months post op. I have found some great decaf Beans I grind and it's taste is very close to caffeinated and so delicious, I may never go back to caffeinated.

What are you using? I'm trying to find something that will taste good with my keurig. I've have zero luck so far. I miss my coffee.

Regular but weak or watered down.

I love coffee and have about 5 cups a day. I put my protein powder in it. I would rather coffee than food.

I had to switch to decaf for my pre-op diet, but it is a clear liquid if you drink it black. I was surprised to find that they are going to allow me decaf after surgery as well. I was afraid I would have to stop it altogether. They said decaf for at least 6 weeks post op. I guess it will be up to my dietician after that.

I drink 1 cup a day no issues

I was told no caffeine two weeks pre-op and at one week post op I was cleared to have it again. Although I admit, I don't crave it as much and rarely drink a full cup in a day

I drink caffeine water! Yes they have it and you get the kick and it doesn't upset your stomach! It's called Avitae water. You can get it from their web site Amazon or lots of stores across the country. GoAvitae.com I love it and I was a Diet Coke junky!

I'm buying it at Fresh Thyme Market..really tasty decaf. They have a few different decaf blends.

I had to drink coffee soon after surgery in order to survive and get through the work day.

I'm 16 months post-op and everything makes my stomach a bit upset. If I drink water I get a little burp up going on. It's worth it though, but I still drink regular coffee and wine.

I'm a coffee addict. I was told that caffeine in large quantities can be dehydrating but in moderate amounts is fine. In order to balance things out I just don't count my coffee as part of my liquid goals, although I was told it does count - in moderation.

What's "moderation" when it comes to coffee? Right now I'd be happy with being able to have a cup but figured I'd definitely wait at least 2weeks.

I started drinking regular coffee 2 days after my surgery - I start each day with 2 cups of coffee and then once that has digested each my Breakfast. If I eat first I feel worse.
