coffee Espresso?

do you drink coffee or espresso? pre surgery I drank espresso drinks with milk and chocolate in them, but I no longer can drink milk or chocolate. Soo black coffee is the only option, and I drank that too.
My question is: does the caffeen irratate your pouch? Will it give me the......poops? Im so tired of being tired all day and I hate hate hate tea.

dude,
so i work at starbucks and tried a caffinated espresso drink last week.
i feel all out of it and think i dumped from a skniny cinnoman dolce latte. just from 2 sips of an iced one!

what hasnt bothered me thou, is when i had a 1/2 caf of the same drink.

i have a customer thats like 5 years out and she can finallly drink caffiene.

i didnt notice how far out you are, but so far other then 1/2 caf ive been doing alot of tea.. i know you hate it but theres so much variety out there! if you have a whole foods near you they have a huge variety!

good luck!

 Coming from a former caffeine addict, if you can try to stay away from it, you are doing yourself a favor.  Fatigue can be a sign of dehydration, so making sure you are getting plenty of fluids may combat the tiredness.  I drink a mug of decaf coffee with a bit of sugar free flavored creamer and that takes care of my coffee needs for the day.  

Sometimes it's hard for me to find a variety of drinks that are caffeine/sugar free but I as the other poster said there are tons of great flavored teas out there.

I am 3 months post op and asked my surgeon just recently about having coffee...he said it was perfectly ok, just dont go having more then a cpl of cups per day. The reason i even asked was because i wanted to try Click protein powder, which contains caffeine and people have been raving about....well i got some, tried it and i LOVE it.

EVERY
SINGLE
DAY!

pouch fully approves of caffeine...

I drink regular coffee everyday and if I can get to a starbucks or local coffee shop for an iced coffee it makes my day!  Sometimes too much will send me to the bathroom, but hey sometimes thats not so bad you know!  But yes I fully approve :)

I was told no coffee or other gastric irritants for the first month.  Since my 1 month post op date I can drink coffee with no problem.  I can drink the other things because I don't dump, but I stay away from them if possible! Empty calories! I'll get an iced vanilla coffee with skim milk and put splenda in it at Starbucks if I want something cold.
