Anyone drinking decaf coffee or still drinking caffinated drinks?
By Ndngirl on 04 Aug 2011
I am a coffee drinker and Starbucks (coffee house) junky..lol..well not that bad but. ;) I was advised that caffine can contribute to swelling. So since my TT in July (3wks po) I have only drank a few cups - just to curb my craving for it - and do decaf(i would drink coffee about once or twice a day whether it was starbuck or not). I was also told that sodas, especially diet have a large amount of sodium but that ins't a problem for me. - I quit sodas like 5 years ago and it was hard and lost weight from that. And me and sugar substitutes dont get a long...they make me sick-so diet sodas was not an option. Who is still consuming coffee or any caffinated drinks through recovery?

Yes it is a good idea to stay away from soda, processed foods, or anything else high in sodium after surgery. These will blow you up like a balloon.
I also love my coffee but honestly it was the last thing I wanted right after surgery. I stayed away from it for three weeks. But when I started back it was only one cup a day.
