I am a week into my PreOP Diet and doing really well, 8 lbs. down so far... But I can't kick my coffee! ? I drink it black for the most part, sometimes I will put about a Tablespoon of my Protein shake in it, so no excess sugar.

I don't have a sensitive stomach at all, so that is not an issue. has anyone else not give up the coffee?

Nobody ever told me anything regarding coffee, so I just kept on with what I was doing. I drank coffee up to the day before surgery, and I had coffee three days post surgery. I’m currently almost 2 years out and I drink a ton of coffee every day, and I have never had any issues whatsoever. Interestingly enough I just had a pretty big plastic surgery operation less than a week ago, and my anesthesiologist asked me to have black coffee the morning of my afternoon surgery since she said she hates to have people have caffeine headaches post surgery, and there is absolutely no medical reason to not drink it. So there’s that as well.

Had surgery Monday and my coffee does not taste the same, it decaf. And jello tastes bad. But that’s all ok with me. Wonder while I progress what other foods will change for me? So e en if you can have coffee you may not like it anymore?

I drank Coffee but not fuzzy and still do 4 weeks after, good luck

I’m actually 4 weeks post op with my surgery and prior to the surgery like 4 months prior, I was told NO caffeine whatsoever. I know from experience coffee can cause ulcers and it’s an irritant to the stomach. I know this from experience and I’m also a nurse very in tune with gastroenterology. I didn’t stop drinking until I was 1 day pre-op. After the surgery , I drank whatever agreed with my stomach. Remember everything is a mental game. Your brain tells you; you can’t go without caffeine but you can. It’s not easy finding the best decaf and sometimes drinks you had before just taste weird. If your doctor told you to keep drinking coffee, I’d ask the possibility of it being an irritant and see if it’s a risk worth taking or just enjoy your cup of coffee peacefully!
