I was banded on 3/24/09, I wanted to know has anybody drank Decaf- Coffee so soon is it a good idea?

Decaf coffee was on my full liquids list.now i drink it every morning.

I drank ordinary coffee al the time, though i only have about 1 a week cos im not keen on coffee

I've also had coffee since the liquids stage. I drink regular - one or two cups in the morning. No problems with it. OK with my doctor and I NEED it!! Take care. Becky

I had regular coffee on about the 2nd or 3rd day after surgery with no problems! Now I drink 1 cup every morning! I have heard of some doctors not wanting their patient's to have it, but I am not sure why this would be. I am thinking it is just the doctor's opinion about coffee in that situation! One thing is for sure, my doctor is definitely against any carbonated beverages, unless they have gone flat, but still he says - just don't do it! Good to luck you!

I can't stand coffee, so it wasn't a question for me BUT coffee was on the list of okay stuff post-op. Go ahead and have a cup!

Go for it! Heck, I even started to have half caf and half decaf!

I have a cup of decaf every morning and flavor it with Coffeemate's sugar free french vanilla powder (not the liquid one). YUMMY!! My surgery was on Monday, March 16th and I've had absolutely no complications and losing weight steadily. :thumbup:
