I was just sleeved on 2/13. I'm doing great, already down 8 pounds! But there's one thing I really miss, COFFEE! To coffee drinkers out there how long did you wait to have you first cup?

I have one a week. Started about 6 week mark. Be careful with dehydration. That's my problem or if probably drink more

My surgeon said decaf was fine to start right away. Wants me to wait 3 months before I have any caffeine.

I had my surgery on 2/8. I stopped caffeine weeks before. I do take a few sips of decaf in the mornings.

I too stopped caffeine two weeks before switched to decaf. But a week after surgery My doctor said I can have a cup a day of caffeinated So I do. It takes more than a cup to get dehydrated from caffeine. Just make sure you drink plenty of water too.

I switched to decaf abt 3 weeks prior so I could "detox" ugh. My question is I too was sleeved 2/13 and I so badly want a cup of coffee but there is no way I can drink it black. Has anyone used just a tiny bit of sf creamer?

Can't you add a dash of milk? It has protein. I don't think it will hurt. But I'm not a doctor either.

Yea, I don't see the big deal either. But since I'm not even a full week post-op idk? I have been doing great. Held all my fluids down since day 1. I have sf coffee creamer and silk high protein milk.


Has anyone else used any coffee creamer?

Caffeine is highly acidic. Not good for your healing stomach! This is a major surgery and life change.

I gave up caffeine and its been 8 weeks. Sticking to herbal teas. It's doable.
