Absolutely, I don't see why not.

If it is okay with your surgeon, some won't even allow Decaf. They fear if they give an inch, you might take a mile, and you are supposed to learn doing all things in moderation, but one little " yuppie", as far as I am concerned, couldn't hurt!

My surgeon says we can start back up with coffee, but to be aware it might cause stomach upset. I've stuck with tea since my surgery 10 days ago. Might try coffee again after 3 weeks. Enjoy!!

I’m back to drinking regular coffee 2+ months out. It’s not caffeinated or Decaf that’s the issue it’s that’s it acidic. There are low acid coffees you could try . I haven’t so I couldn’t say what they’re like

Had mine March 19. Had Decaf coffee and caramel pr pro shake yesterday. No issues, had to split into 2 servings. You’re right, Decaf is not the same though!

I miss it so much lol but I’m actually scared to try regular coffee

coffee with non-dairy Creamer is on my clear liquid list. I've had it starting 4 days post op and confirmed that it did not need to be Decaf. I've done well compensating for the diuretic effect of caffeine.

....but every surgeon is different...

There are three reasons why they say Decaf. One - caffeine hits your system quicker now so you may experience rapid heart rates. Two - caffeine is a stimulant, including a bowel stimulant. You may have to go more urgently. Three - caffeine strips Calcium out of your system and can lead to brittle bones, so make sure you are getting lots of calcium if you go caffeinated. You should be able to go to caffeine eventually, just be gentle.

As for acidic, coffee is about a pH of 5, stomach acid is pH 3-4, so it’s not more acidic, but during healing when you are taking proton pump inhibitors to reduce acid production, it may aggravate the stomach.

I’m 7 weeks out and doing half caffeinated. It doesn’t hurt my stomach, but I can’t drink as much as I use to.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
