Coffee
Dr's vary widely on coffee. From never again (sadists) to serving it the hospital (probably not the best idea.)
I had 4 weeks restriction of decaf only then OK'd for fully leaded. 8 1/2 years out no issues, I drink many cups a day. drinking one now ;)
Most Dr's say OK in moderation. Not to sub for water. Avoid for a few weeks during healing but this will also vary based on your individual health history so... if you have an ulcer or something they probably will restrict you.
Not for me, since I have ulcers. Sometimes I miss it but I've become used to hot tea w/lemon. :)

I don't know why not. I'm drinking a skinny vanilla latte right now!

My Dr. made me wait 6 months...it was brutal. But decaf was ok, so I'd just pretend :) I drink it now with no issues (10.5 months out).
I made my goal today and I drink coffee every single day. I didn't for a month or so after surgery, but now I have a fully caffeinated cup of coffee straight outta my Keurig every morning :) I have recently started trying Crystal Light add-in packets with caffeine. Yum! But I am sure I should probably tell you "follow your doctor's program" lol.
