my notes say caffeine is a stomach irritant and should be limited once you are able to take in adequate fluids without difficulty you may add some caffeine back into your diet. I found a good decaf coffee called Pete's, give that a try.

I wasnt ever told no caffeine. Just not immediately after surgery because of the diet. Once it went back to normal i added regular iced coffee in with splenda and sugar free flavor from dunks

At my appt. on Monday, I asked the dietitian about when I would be able to have coffee. She asked me how many cups I drink a day. I told her usually 1-2 cups in the am and 1 cup after dinner. All regular. She said that since I was a month out of surgery, I could have 1 regular cup in the morning and 1 cup of decaf at night. I was both surprised and happy with her answer.

Thank you Judy. I am happy to report that the entire state of Washington has now turned green, meaning all the air is considered perfectly clear and safe to breathe. The exception is the newest fire, up in the Okanogan, which is not as huge as the other fires were. My little sister in the central area of the state sent me a photograph of her view from work. It was nothing but blue skies and low-hanging rain clouds. Here it's been raining for three days and I could never be more grateful. The air is completely clear I can see everything. But thank you for your love and caring.

Aww thank you. We finally got some pretty heavy rain here (caused some flash floods in some areas, unfortunately) but it did clear of the air and help with the fires a great deal. For the last couple days I've actually be able to see the sun and blue sky for the first time since the fires started in our county. The air quality is "green" too, so I've been able to start up my walks again, which is awesome.
Unless something freakish happens with the weather, we should be pretty good now. There is more rain predicted in a few days.

I am an avid coffee drinker but have not had any for 4 weeks now, and I’m feeling okay.
I will say that the Premier Protein Cafe Latte pro drink has really been a great substitution

Me too! I haven't had any hot coffee since surgery on June 25th! I too have been drinking Premier Protein Cafe Latte and/or Caramel Latte. Now that the weather is getting chilly I might want to have one cup of hot coffee but I haven't really wanted it during the summer.
