Caffeine

For those that drink caffeinated coffe or tea:  how long did you wait after your sleeve before drinking caffeine?

Thanks!

I waited about three weeks, but really, you should probably wait closer to three months as you need your stomach to heal.  It is the acidic nature of coffee that is the issue, not dehydration (which has been proven to not be caused by coffee drinking at all).

I had to wait two months before I drank caffeine. I could have decaf coffee after 2 weeks though.

Im a little over 4 months now and I'm missing some of the flavored coffee that I like.  I will probably start having a cup in the mornings.  Thanks for sharing!  

I only waited about 4 days.  

We are told six months to make sure the stomach is healed and doesn't have to deal with the acid.  They say for life is better but, that ain't happening.

I was given the go ahead at my one month appt, if I remember correctly.  As long as I wa****ting fluid and protein goals they didn't care where it came from.  :-)

my doctor told me that at one month i could have coffee. but at three weeks i had started having half a cup with half a cup of hot skim milk.   diane

I lasted 4 months before I started drinking coffee again. I started off by having one cup a day, then it snowballed out of control. I have not had any issues from drinking coffee (I drink about 4-5 cups every day). There are days that I manage to drink a little more. Before you start drinking coffee, make sure to talk it over with your doctor. At least you can say you discussed it with her/him.
