Coffee 4 weeks post op?



Recommended Posts

Yes! I've been allowed to have Decaf coffee the whole time. I was only allowed to add milk at my full liquid phase, and still sugar free.

I had regular coffee with cream on my way home from the hospital and every day since!! Maybe it was just me, in Canada, but I didn't get a lot of guidance before or after surgery. 2 1/2 yrs later, I'm still healthy!

I'm allowed skim milk so I just use it with my morning coffee. Which I usually only drink about half....I drink caffeinated coffee, sweetened with sweet n low and a little skim milk.

It was a McCafe coffee and I don't use sugar. I sipped on it during the ride home. I had a Migraine from going without coffee in the hospital. I felt getting rid of the headache was worth it but it was probably not wise and I sipped very slowly. I'm not advocating it, just sharing my choices!

I am 4 weeks post op and tolerate a little coffee. I drink mine black, but have tried it with cream. Either way, I only want about 1/4 cup for some reason. I did Water it down a bit when I first tried it.

I've had coffee since 5 days post-op. I use the Premier vanilla shake as my Creamer -- no sugars! Don't want to risk dumping. Sometimes I use the chocolate for a mocha chino-type drink. I finish my leftover shake after the coffee wakes me up and I've gotten 30 grams of Protein in by early morning, plus jump-started my bathroom trips for the day.

My surgeon has no problem with coffee, but the nutritionist gave me the business for drinking it. I went with the surgeon having no problem with it, LOL.

Make sure you get in your Pepsid/PPI 2x a day though. Coffee IS acidic, and that gurgling in your stomach may seem like hunger, but it's really your stomach acids churning. I take one with my morning coffee and then about 4 hours later, before lunch.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
