decafe coffee

hi everyone,,, i was wondering how long after surgery you can drink decafe coffee.....i been out 5 weeks now and i am wanting a coffee,,,,decafe that is.......

Coffee (decaf or non-decaf) is one of those things that your pouch my or may not like. I have been drinking decaf or half decaf/half regular since about 4 weeks out. HRRH said it was OK as long as it was only one cup and I am getting all of my water in. Black is best or skim milk and sweetner if you can't do black.

thank you kristie, i am missing my one cup of coffee in the mornng....i will try decafe with skim milk....i dont use sugar or sweetner in coffee....never have...thanks for sharing...

 HRRH told me i can have decaf even in first 2 weeks. But have it with milk to have a benefit from it.

thank you, i will try it once to see what happens

Coffee is an irritant to a new pouch either regular or decaf. Try it an see how it goes but be cautious. I am more than 2 yrs out and do drink coffee but always with a fair amount of skim milk in it. Sometimes my pouch doesn't like it.

thank you, i will try just once to see what happens....

All centers are different but at Guelph you get it in the hospital (decaf) on second day post op.
