My surgeon recommends that his paitients wait a few months at least before drinking coffee...

Now, Pre-Op I was a coffee junkie! Loved Gevalia with my 2 sugars and fat free creamer...

POST op, for whatever reason, my pouch HATES coffee... It makes me nauseaus and feel yukky, no matter how much milk I put in it. It's not the caffiene, I can do tea or other caffienated beverages the only thing I can think of is that the acidity bothers my system...It is the only thing that I've had to really "give up" from Pre-Op and I don't mind at all to be honest. Any coffee beverage does it to me.

So now, I've become a tea drinker...(Revolution Earl Grey with Lavender is one of my favorites!)

Warmly,
Jackie

I did give coffee up in the beginning...However, I decided since I have given up so much; bread, rice, pasta, potatoes and sugar.  I would have a cup of coffee in the a.m. I also drink extra water to make up for the caffeine I take in.

I am a happier person drinking coffee and I think the people around me appreciate it too! LOL

On my program, day 2, it says "Consume in at least 2 liters of either water, tea or coffee," but that's Sweden for ya. lol

I cannot drink coffee due to an ulcer that preforated my stomach wall.  I now happily drink decaf tea.  Never want that to happen again.  maria

My Doc kindly said he would not take away my coffee, since there were so many other beloved items I would have to give up. I have fresh ground Terrazu in the a.m with cream or half and half, and usually a Skinny Caramel Latte in the afternoon. Also enjoy Click often. Decaf makes me nauseated, so it has been full octane from day 2 (no fluids allowed on day 1 !!)  Jenny T

I was not much of a coffee drinker pre-op. I might have a 1-2 cups a week if that. But post-op, its a whole nother story.  I crave it now.  So I will usually have 1 cup in the morning with truvia and creamer, then another cup in the afternoon, same way. When I have it, I will also have Click.  WOW i miss my Click. Guess its time to place an order or visit the vitamin shoppe.
  I have not had any problems with dehydration.

I'm with you about not craving it much before and really enjoying it now.

I think that the dehydration issues they were talking about are more related to immediate post op when consumption of liquids can be much more limited than later.

Congrats on your succes.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who craves coffee post-op.

 

It doesn't bother me to drink it in the evenings either.

 During the early days after WLS, I think coffee is only going to make it that much more difficult to stay hydrated.  I recommend water.  
With that said, I am in LOVE with my coffee  and would not want to face a day without it.  I would give up any meal  for a skinny vanilla latte!!!! Make it a venti!! (Of course, my pocketbook only allows me to enjoy such luxury every week or so.) Usually, I just have my coffee at home, but coffee is fabulous!
So far, I have had none of the unfortunate side effects mentiomed above.
