So can we still not have coffee? I wasn't sure if that was just a few weeks thing or..?

Everyone's plan seems really to vary on coffee so definitely ask your surgeon. I personally abstained for nearly a year and actually never missed it. When I went to SBUX, I would order a skinny, vanilla steamer, which is just steamed nonfat milk with sugar free flavor so I never missed the coffee and still got to enjoy the experience of going out with friends.

I am allowed decaf coffee only but I don't remember for how long.

I have one cup, but instead of it being completely empty calories I add GENEPRO Protein powder AND a spoonful of Fiber.

I just decided to give it up completely for 6 weeks. Now I'll drink half decafe/half regular if I'm feeling tired, maybe once a week. You don't miss it as much as you would think you would. I did have horrible headaches the first two weeks i went without. I would suggest quitting at least 2 weeks before surgery, you don't want headaches from caffeine withdrawal as your healing from surgery.

I was required to be off caffeine for three months post surgery. I went off it 6 months pre-surgery on my own. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I love a strong cup of hot tea and I basically lived on an iced tea drip. I drink decaf of both now. I can "officially" have caffeine on 01/26/2017, but I am not sure that I will.

I was allowed coffee at 30 days post-op, heavily diluted with milk in the beginning and only one cup a day. I am now back up to 3 cups a day with a normal amount of creamer.

My plan says decaf coffee is OK.

I put one packet of the instant stuff into a shaker bottle along with a vanilla or caramel premier protein. I also make "ice cubes" from the shakes and dump a few in to keep it cool. Pretty good!

Caffeine is the whole reason I want coffee ????

I drink coffee everyday. I was allowed coffee from the start.

So many different plans out there. Check with your Dr

my plan didn't want caffeine for about 6 weeks post op and then when allowed, only one 8oz cup a day (the 8oz rule was more due to how acidic coffee is and risk of ulcers).

I waited 3 months and now have my one cup a day.
