When can I drink coffee again?
This has been one of the hardest things to give up on pre op.. I have cheated a few times. I live in boston.. There's like 3 feet of snow outside and I would kill someone for a dunks or Starbucks!
Not caffiene withdrawals.. I drink mostly decaf.. Missing the taste. How long post op do you have to wait?
VSG 2/11/15 with David Lautz
It really depends on the surgeon, mine had no restrictions on coffee (assuming it was black coffee and not laden with calories!)

Coffee is on my Stage 2 diet, and I love my coffee. But at Day 7 Post-Op I still haven't had any because I am working so hard to get my 48 oz of water in, and I have to start at the beginning of the day to accomplish this. :-)
