Just wondering what everyone on here orders for coffee from Dunkin' Donuts? I am 5 months post op going to visit family and I hate black coffee! I get a super skinny latte with sugar free flavor from my coffee shop at home! Thanks for any advice!

Sorry, I haven't touched coffee since 1991. Too much coffee in the desert. All we had was warm/hot water to drink so we figured we might as well drink coffee. Too much.

I was just on their website last week trying to figure that out. I know their original hot or iced coffee is fine, and you can get it with or without artificial sweeteners and milk, cream or half & half. It seems all their flavor shots have a ton of sugar, though, and that sucks. And their specialty drinks are WAY high in carbs.

My nutritionist said coffee was a no no until 9 months post op as can cause ulcers. Maybe a tea better option?

Even decaf?

I was told decaf tea is fine. And no coffee for 2-3 months. And when I do drink coffee, it should be decaf. That stinks cause I need the caffeine.

Every doctor is different. I was allowed coffee right after surgery, with artificial sweeteners and/or a small amount of half & half/cream. No other creamers, though, and only 1-2 cups a day.

I haven't tried it yet but it's been recommended to me to use a half of a vanilla protein shake in place of cream and that will also give it the sweetness.

I waited the 9 months and drink coffee with creamer now with no issues. Normally just 2 a day. I gave up coffee a few months prior to surgery so went through withdrawal then...instead of waiting till surgery. It can be tough to give up headaches and no energy! I had gastric bypass it might not matter with sleeve.

I always find it so interesting how various programs/doctors can be soooo different in what you can/cannot have. My program says no caffeine because it is a natural diuretic and the biggest risk with this surgery is dehydration. So I've been off caffeine prior to my surgery.

My Dad had a type of Bariatric surgery over 40 years ago. His surgery removed quite a bit of his intestines but nothing was done to the stomach. There was no dietician involved back then, just eat and then everything passed through quickly. So he continued to drink coffee and iced tea post-surgery. He died three years ago after being on dialysis for 7 years. Although none of his doctors ever said what caused the kidney failure, I rather be safe than sorry.

That is interesting. I think it's best to stay off it but I do have a couple while at work....something has to keep me awake

I order a large decaf with cream every day. I am 9 months out and have lost 110 lbs. I drink it through out the morning.

I order small decaf in large cup over ice. I add a vanilla premier protein shake and it is delicious. I get my 30g if protein and a "skinny vanilla latte.

My NUT and dr said decaf is fine.

I lost the taste for coffee! It is amazing certain foods I cannot eat anymore.

After 1 year I started having coffee again...with creamer.
