Coffee

[Mimiof3 33]

I really want some caffeined coffee...just one cup in the mornings while getting ready for work..I was sleeved Dec 21st

Anyone know if we are allowed to drink coffee and at what stage...

My next doctor appt is coming up but just wanted to know what y'all think...

If you've been off coffee so long, why would you re-addict yourself to it?

I have wanted a cup of coffee a few times since I was sleeved in Oct, but I've been on Decaf since I paid for my surgery in August. I was a big Diet Coke drinker and also consumed between 50-64oz of thick truck stop coffee before that.

After the headaches and withdrawals were gone, I vowed never again.

And every time I've planned order a coffee, I end up with tea instead. I was never a tea drinker really, but it's really grown on me (and yes, it's decaf tea whenever possible)

My Dr. And nutritionist said one cup a day as long as it doesn't bother me. I didn't give it up for my pre op diet or for post op. I stick to the one cup (literally 8 ounces) and mix it with a Protein shake. Double check with your dr, but it seems most are ok with it in moderation. Oh and I was sleeved the same day.

Ask your Dr. I had Syntrax Cappuccino until 6 weeks then I started drinking cold brew coffee.

I love coffee and I drink a lot every day.

Early on the acid in coffee is an issue so try something low acid like cold brew or french.

I was told no coffee for 3 months . Not even Decaf. I have the date marked on my calendar. Don't even know if I could get past the first sip right now but it still sounds appealing. NUT said it was to much acid on a healing stomach. I have my first post op appointment later this week, and I'm going to ask if decaf or green tea is ok. Herbal isn't cutting it!

I plan on allowing myself a half a cup of coffee a few days a week when I'm cleared for it. On other days I'll do tea! Either Decaf or low caffeine level.

I felt the same way as you did. I love coffee. I was sleeved on December 7. I decided to have my first cup of coffee on January 3. It was decaffeinated but it tasted horrible to me. I absolutely have no taste for coffee anymore. My doctor advised me to stay away from caffeinated beverages for three months after my surgery

Pre and post-op, I drank coffee. Every patient is different, every program is different. Thank goodness my tummy and my program welcomed it.

Yes, I agree that every program is different. It's best to check with your nutritionist.

My nutritionist said to wait 4-6 weeks until after surgery. I was such a big coffee drinker before surgery, but since post-op hadn't had any caffeine until last week when I had some coffee. It was a real treat. I love the flavor of coffee, so until my 7th week post-op, I have been drinking Decaf. I am still drinking my decaf every morning and just making the caffeinated coffee an every few days or so treat.

I believe my plan says no caffeine at all...ever, only Decaf. Which is fine by me because I went throught the withdrawls during recovery and don't want to do that again. I tried drinking some decaf coffee once but it sucked. The flavor was not like it should taste (and yes I've had decaf lots of times). I have discovered that my tastes have changed as well. So things I used to like, I dont now.

Yup. Me too.

I gave up smoking, alcohol (pretty much) to have this surgery, so you'll take my coffee from my cold, dead hands.

I was sleeved 12/28... my Dr let me have a cup of Decaf very next day. Now o have one cup of caffeine coffee on the morning and a couple of decaf cups in afternoon. Decaf counts as Water intake per my Dr!
