Starbucks unsweetened ?

Honestly I miss coffee . I’m one month post op and I haven’t been able to drink coffee because decaf is just horrible . The taste for me just doesn’t sit will . I used to buy the unsweetened Starbucks cold brew from Walmart . Will I be okay if I have a little ? I am dying for some lol . Decaf and me will never be friends .

  • My surgeon never said I couldn't have coffee. But I guess the caffeine acts as an appetite stimulant? I have always just drank decaf.

    there doesn't seem to be a consensus among surgeons re: caffeinated coffee. Some say never, some say right away, some say to wait a month - or three months - or six months. Some say it's OK if limit

    I drink cold brew coffee daily, and have had no acid reflux issues, and it hasn't increased my appetite or anything. I started drinking it again a couple of months after my surgery.

This is from the ASMBS website-

Q: Do I need to avoid caffeine after bariatric surgery? A: Caffeine fluids have been shown to be as good as any others for keeping you hydrated. Still, it is a good idea to avoid caffeine for at least the first thirty days after surgery while your stomach is extra sensitive. After that point, you can ask your surgeon or dietitian about resuming caffeine. Remember that caffeine often comes paired with sugary, high-calorie drinks, so be sure you’re making wise beverage choices.
