Does anyone know if 1 week post-op it's OK to have a small iced Decaf coffee? I swear I'll put skim milk in it! I don't miss the caffeine as much as the taste. I'm doing so well on my liquid diet, but I'm SO SICK of artificial sweetener taste in my mouth. My diet guidelines just say Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes with milk or soy milk-what do you think?:confused2:

I tried it early on and it did not go well for me. I tried 2 weeks out and 3 weeks out. It made me feel gross. However, everyone is different and by week 4 I was fine with coffee. If so, just start with a sip or two and see how you do. My dr. recommended fat free Creamer. I like the simply smart creamer. Yum. Good Luck.

Yum. That sounds good. I don't see why that would be a problem at all. If you are really worried though, call and check with your dr/nurse. I am 7 days post op and am having something new for lunch - Cream of Wheat- you think I'd died and gone to heaven! This is very tasty.

I had a fat free, Decaf, iced coffee exactly one week out. It tasted great and I tolerated it fine but could only do about 1/4 cup.

Also, I had baby oatmeal this moring and it was awful. Will try cream of wheat tomorrow. It's exciting to be on full liquids.< /p>

Of course you can. Decaf is on the liquid stage, as are popcicles. So, why wouldn't iced decaf be good? More important is how it feels to you. I prefered Hot Drinks after surgery- but that's a personal preference. Just sip very very slowly.

Thanks, all! I only had a little bit, but it tasted SO good. I have plenty left over for tomorrow if the craving strikes again. Can't wait until I can add some more variety in my food choices

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
