I’m 8 weeks out now. Can I have a coffee yet?

I’ll be 8 weeks on Thursday and I should already know this but I don’t. Can sleevers have coffee at this point? I’ve heard yes & no but wasn’t paying attention to when or at what point from surgery.

((hugs)) I got decaff on day 2 as part of clears. Think it really depends on decaff v. caff. But it may be diff for sleeve v. rny?

Hang in there my friend!

I was able to have Decaf right after surgery. That's what I drink anyway (caffeine is like crack in my system).

I had coffee right away too and used Monk Fruit sweetener while I was healing. They worry about letting us have it too soon bc of the acid as well as being a diarrhetic so just drink an extra glass of water!! 8 weeks out you shld be totally fine

T!

YES!

I was drinking decaff the first week after surgery, day 2 after surgery. I wasn't supposed to drink caffeine for a month out, but I hate teh taste of decaff coffee. Yuck.

But so I drank regular coffee a week out, until now

I not only lived. I didn't get dehydrated

There are some rules that are put in place "just in case" but you should be fine

The reason for the decaff instead of caffee, is bc caffeine tends to make you pe more, and they are afraid you'll become dehydrated since you can't drink as much liquids right after surgery

Enjoy!

I am 7 weeks out and started drinking Hazelnut Decaf about two weeks before surgery and still LOVE it. I don't know that I really need to go back to regularly coffee. I was told it was OK to have caffeine in VERY small amounts.

Check your binder! It’s in there, and it’s your Bible!

Mine allowed me to drink 8 oz of Decaf as soon as the liquid phase. My bariatric cookbook included a recipe for a frappe-type drink that used decaf.

My program gives the green light to regular coffee six weeks out, but warns that it may trigger hunger.
