I was cleared to drink caffeinated coffee at 3 months. I started with 1 cup a day at the 3 month mark, did fine with it. Now at over 10 months out, I drink 2-3 cups a day with no problems.

If you drink a coffee you need to drink two times the amount of water. Coffee dehydrates you. I drank a pot and a half per day and now I really don’t crave it. Converted all my coffee contraptions to do tea.

Also, if you are just craving the flavor of a good cup of coffee, you can go with decaf. That is what I did for the first couple of months before going to regular coffee.

We are allowed caffeine as soon as we start getting in 64 Oz of fluid per day. I enjoyed my 1st cup on about day 10.

Now, I usually have decaf, but sometimes I get regular if I don't feel like making a pot.

BTW, is there such a thing as good decaf?

I don't know if there such thing as a good decaf I've tried several but I did find that Folgers has a half calf which I think I'm going to try but I really miss my dark roast yuban

Actually the coffee being dehydrating is an urban myth. Studies have disproven that.

What does your plan say? Some doctors allow it soon others never. You trusted your doctor to operate on you, literally cut you open, you should probably trust their dietary advice.

doctor hasn't said anything about caffeine yet I see him tomorrow so I'm going to ask him

All I can tell you is what I did to prove that coffee does have an effect upon my hydration status. I can only speak to what works for me. My Dr. told me to stay away from coffee because it aggravates the stomach more than the dehydration arguments.

Thank you jeffN i just seen my doc. He told me that it will aggrivate my stomache at this point, to wait another week when im off soft food stage but that i can have decaf right now then in a week try the half caf if i feel i want to get back to drinking caff.

As a food and coffee addict I can tell you that the longer I stay off coffee the better I will be. I have no problem going to sleep and I feel great when I wake up. You might want to look at Teeccino. I have heard a lot of people say it is really good and is very similar to coffee in taste.

I added coffee after my 3rd month... always check with Doctor.. so far no issues at all. I get a grande cap with extra shot of espresso everyday.. of course I drink it within 2 1/2 hours or 3

I started drinking decaf at week 2. I still mostly drink it, although some days I have regular. I find that I have more acid reflux issues when I drink regular coffee. I don't know if it is more acidic or not.

I heard that cold-brews don't irritate the stomach as much. Has anyone heard that?
