Coffee??

I'm having surgery in 2 weeks. I drink 2 extra large 3 cream 3 sugar. I know I can't have that . Did everyone just give up coffee all together?

I did.  After surgery I found a protein powder made with decaf to get my fix.

My nutritionist was okay with me drinking caffeinated coffee pre op, but limit cream and sugar (I like the same amount as you).  Post op she said to wait a month to have caffeinated coffee.  I'm 4 days post op, and this morning I needed something hot to break up the mucus in my throat (gross I know), and all I had was regular coffee.  It was a bad idea.  I've had dumping all day because of it.  Learned my lesson, and going out for some decaf coffee!  I also had my gall bladder removed during surgery, so that may have impact on how my body tolerates it as well.

Tomorrow starts my 4th week post-op and I gave up coffee (for now).  I have to say coffee is one of the few things I miss but it is a small sacrifice.  It is my understanding that someday we can drink it again.  I have tried decaf coffee (yuck) and decaf tea (soso) but it is not coffee.  However it is a small trade off for a new life.  Good luck!

Yes, you will be back to coffee some day but right know you don't want the acid.

I was allowed regular coffee 1 month post op , I usually mix half decaf half regular , no sugar a drop of sugar frees creamer , some sugar free Italian syrup 

I gave up coffee 2 months before surgery to get myself used to the caffeine withdrawal and find other sources of energy in the morning.  My plan says I can't have coffee for 6 months post op. I miss it but I'm surviving without it.

I don't remember being told to stay away from coffee but I wasn't a big coffee drinker to begin with, perhaps down the road check out Chike coffee. It's protein coffee & it's so good, but I think you can only drink it cold. I make it with soy milk. It's a nice start to the day & helps towards protein goals. Might be something to look into once you're cleared for coffee again. I buy it online from amazon.

I'm in no way a coffee addict, however 

I drink a protein tea everyday..

I enjoy coffee but I drink it w/4 creamers and 2Splenda's

i like to say I like a little coffee with my half and half LOL!!!

(tried to switch back to sugar, but it's not SWEET enough!!)

so b/c of the calories I save it for when I'm out for breakfast 

which is about 1-2x a month...

edited to add: my point being..

once your cleared by your Dr for reg.coffee you can have it everyday..

just account for the calories in your tracking...

I never stopped drinking coffee my doctor said I didn't  to
