Hi Everyone;

I was just banded on Friday afternoon and been on tea, water and broth since then. Tomorrow I get to move onto soft proteins. I am dying for a cup of coffee......I didnt see anything in my post op book about having coffee... I would love a cup of decaf even.... any suggestions ..I am hoping its ok?

I would call your Dr in the morning. Some don't want you to have it. Only they can tell you what they want you to do. good luck!

Being a coffee addict, I understand -- what I did was started out with a blend of decaf and herbal coffee (Teeccino Caffeine-Free Herbal Coffee / Coffee Substitute Coffee Alternative), then gradually have gone up to a half regular coffee/half decaf or herbal -- and I find it very satisfying -- hope it goes well!

I started drinking my coffee a week after surgery. They told me to try it and if it didn't hurt my stomach I could have it. MY problem is hurting in my back lower right like I've got a kidney infection and still running to the bathroom and gas that is really hurting my stomach. Has anyone having that kind of problem.

Thanks for any information.

I must admit that i had regular coffee the day after surgery and did not have one problem with it.
