All of the paperwork provided to me from my provider says no coffee or caffeine. Not just at one stage, but all stages.

I understand that during the initial weeks of healing (maybe) coffee might cause a problem. But it is expected that I an never have coffee again?

I drink my coffee Black - no cream, no sugar. Granted, I used to drink a lot of it - but I've been sleeved on 8/23 and am craving for just a few sips of my delicious beverage. I'm curious as to the roles coffee and caffeine can play on the success of this surgery.

So few questions:

1. Why no coffee?

2. Why no caffeine?

3. If allowed, when can I start having it again?

*Again, all on the basis of black coffee - no cream, no sugar (additives that would result in weight gain)

I do a weekly starbucks mocha frap with almondmilk which cuts the sweetness and a scoop or two of protein ,that's a treat for me that I don't feel guilty about and I'm getting my protein in as well .And if it don't go there I go this other coffee shop that makes a fitfrap and its has 25 grams of protein as well .
