I am post op day 9 can you have iced decaf coffee? Seems like u may be able to but I wasnt sure. Perhaps with some 1% milk and splenda or even black with splenda. Probably just have to drink a little more water. Anyone?

I'm telling you, this post was meant for me.

Before surgery I hated iced coffee. After? Completely addicted. I did have decaf iced coffee starting around when I discovered that blueberry deliciousness...around 3 weeks post op.

I've been bad since, and drink regular, but I've cut back on my coffee. I still lost/lose at the same pace, but I do think it contributes to my constipation problems, since coffee is a diuretic causing you to pee more often, taking away from the water in your stools.

Now, I may have one a day, on top of my morning hot coffee, but if you suffer from constipation, you may want to up your water, cut back on your coffee, and become close friends, for awhile at least, with milk of magnesia.
