I had my surgery 2/15 & I had no restrictions about coffe or tea. No problems thus far. My surgeon said nothing carbonated 4 8 weeks. He said I could eat what I wanted but small bites, eat slow & chew!
If I think I can handle something, I will try it even at this late date. My body lets me know if it's not ready for it. Actually my appetite is not like it was ~ I can only eat a much smaller amount without feeling too full. I haven't experienced any cravings for sweets, pizza, chips or anything that is probably not good for me anyway. I'm not going to eat it if I don't want it. No more Omeprazole no reflux, some chest pain, still very fatigued, and also shortness of breath with some wheezing. It was my worst symptom pre op & I still have it if I walk too far. I don't regret the surgery but it is a long recovery & search for the new normal. Good luck!
