This is a question you need to as the doctor that did your surgery.
Provided you’re the surgeon, sure.
I have on several occasions, especially when I was offered a coke since, in my mind, caffeine is caffeine. Warning: Hospital coffee can be NASTY!!
Since you’ve provided no info about what surgery you’re having, I’d suggest asking your chosen surgeon. For reference, though, when patients asked me how soon they could resume having sex after (pretty much any operation) I’d advise waiting till they got home.
First, caffeine itself can be an irritant to the new stomach pouch. While the irritation is often minor, it can be problematic, so caffeine should not be consumed within the first 4-6 weeks after surgery . If you must, a small cup of decaf (black, no sugar) is fine.
This definitely depends on the surgery, and you should always follow the instructions of your surgical team, but in general, drinking coffee after non-cardiac, non-gastrointestinal, and non-major surgeries is safe, assuming you are otherwise allowed to eat and drink. There may be case-specific reasons your surgeon would not want you to eat or drink coffee or other foods until some time has passed after the surgery, so just ask about any restrictions and use caution. The caffeine found in coffee is a stimulant and could cause adverse cardiac effects after surgery, especially if taken in excess.
Yes, but I won’t take your order until you’ve woken.
If you are in the hospital you will have to follow your doctor’s orders. It will be hard to sneak out and go down to the cafeteria and get coffee if she does not allow it to be brought up to you on your meal tray.
Once you are out, the chances are extremely high that he will let you have it, but check anyway just to make sure.
I’m not a doctor. But any time I have had surgery, I had to drink water or suck on ice chips. This is because the anesthetic wreaks havoc on your stomach.
That coffee you want so badly may make an unhappy return back up. Stick to water or ice chips until your doctor says a good cuppa Joe is okay.
If you are completely alert and able to maintain your airway and oxygenation, and you have no surgery to your mouth/throat/esophagus- 90% of the time will be yes. But always consult your surgeon/physician first before to ensure there are no anticipated problems.
I see no reason why you can’t, assuming you were able to do so before surgery, the surgery didn’t change your body’s reaction to coffee, you aren’t still under the effects of any medication(s) given to you immediately before, during and/or immediately after surgery, and you have your doctors’ permission to drink coffee. Actually, these are the same rules for most indulgences vis a vis surgery.
Dear
Hot coffee, as well as other hot liquids, should not be consumed for 24-48 hours after your surgery. The heat can agitate the healing site and prevent it from properly recovering. If you drink an iced coffee or cold brew, make sure to avoid the straw.
No doubt it reflects the type of surgery. I have had 3 major surgeries and while my appitte wasn’t there post surgery, coffee and nourishing food were never not recommended. While taking some strong meds for pain, obviously, no alcohol of any kind was permitted. I was actually encouraged to drink any liquid, with the exception of alcohol to keep my kidneys functioning.
Post-op coffee consumption is very effective for the gastrointestinal recovery and function after an abdominal surgery. It really depends on the surgery. Don’t worry you will be on diet as soon as you get out of the operating room. Liquids such as tea, soups, yogurt will be given.
Depending on the surgery and type of anesthesia sure. Soda juice and crackers given after minor surgeries especially MAC local
Personally? I wouldn’t.
It really depends on the surgery done. If it’s neurological surgery at all, I definitely wouldn’t. The caffeine in coffee directly affects your brain like a drug (which is what caffeine is), and your brain needs to be working at top natural efficiency. Anything that interrupts the brain at all can directly harm you.
As for heart surgery, I wouldn’t either. Caffeine makes the body create more adrenaline, and that usually creates heart palpitations and a quicker heartbeat, which probably isn’t a good thing after your heart was just operated on
However, if you just donated a kidney or just got your genitals changed, you’re probably fine.
Only your physician can answer that question. If you had part of your stomach removed or 2 meters of intestines then… After plastic surgery of the nose and chin…. why not?? But like I said: very few doctors here can answer your question.
Depends on the type of surgery.
Gastrointestinal tract, liver and bileduct, pancreatic, adrenal, kidney and prostate surgery are somewhat affected by coffee ingestion.
Other types of surgery aren’t affected by coffee ingestion, like internal fixation of the bone and excision of benign soft tissue mass.
So it is much much safer for you to NOT ingest coffee after your surgery. But if you’re a regular coffee drinker, I don’t think a bit of coffee will make your surgery result bad.
It’s a question many people have asked themselves, and the answer is always going to be ‘yes’. However, there are certain guidelines you need to know before prepping your coffee beans for consumption. …It’s important to note that the American Society of Anesthesiologists states that coffee should be consumed in moderation after surgery.
The reason for this is because it takes a lot of time for the stomach to digest coffee. Therefore, if you’ve just had an operation and are prescribed opioids for pain relief, this could lead to slowed breathing and heart rate.
Even though you may feel like you need some caffeine after surgery, limit yourself to one cup – decaffeinated or regular – and cut it with milk or water. Better yet, give herbal tea a try as they contain no caffeine at all.
…If you’re taking a prescription painkiller, doctors usually recommend that you have about an hour after surgery before consuming coffee.
The reason for this is because narcotics can reduce your ability to breathe. This is why they come with strict instructions regarding when the best time is for you to drink coffee.
…A late afternoon cup of java may not seem very appealing after a long day at work, but it’s still the best time to have coffee. …It’s important to note that any type of caffeinated beverage – including decaf – should be avoided if there are any signs of vomiting or diarrhea.
…Sure, if you feel like you need coffee after surgery, by all means, drink it. It’s important that you keep in mind the medical implications of choosing to have a cup of coffee after surgery and follow the guidelines above. …In conclusion, even though everyone will tell you not to consume coffee after surgery if you really want that cup of joe – whether it’s regular or decaf – then by all means go for it! Just don’t overdo it. Plus consult your doctor for proper advice!!
This is something you need to ask your doctor. While there is no general prohibition on drinking coffee after surgery, there may be specific problems associated with certain types of surgery as well as benefits.
Consumption of postoperative coffee is effective in stimulating the restoration of gastrointestinal function after abdominal surgery. This intervention also reduces the length of stay in the hospital.
Drinking too much coffee can increase blood pressure. It can also damage the cells in the body of people with high blood pressure or hypertension. Drinking too much coffee can reduce blood flow to the heart. This increases the chances of having a stroke or heart attack. Therefore, those who have high blood pressure should avoid drinking too much coffee. Considering the above results, coffee consumption after heart surgery can be expensive.
Drinking coffee affects various organs in the body. Gastrin hormone is released after …
In general, once you are able to swallow liquids, assuming that the surgical procedure allows you to drink, assuming that the intestinal function has recovered ( peristalsis) then sipping a little coffee to start with should not present any problems
Yes, you can have coffee after surgery.
In fact, you should have coffee after surgery.
A nice big cup of joe will help stimulate your metabolism and help you recover faster. It’ll also help keep those pesky painkillers from making you too dopey.
Just make sure to drink plenty of water as well, and avoid drinking caffeine before bedtime.
And whatever you do, don’t operate any heavy machinery while under the influence of caffeine.
Enjoy your coffee responsibly!
It is generally advised to avoid caffeine for at least 24 hours after surgery. This is because caffeine can increase blood pressure and heart rate, which may be undesirable post-surgery. However, everyone metabolizes caffeine differently, so you should check with your surgeon to see if they have any specific recommendations for you. In general, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and avoid caffeine after surgery.
As long as your GI tract is working normally and you can eat & drink normally , then YES. Brew up a cup.
Unless the surgery involved your digestive system, I would ask the anesthesiologist rather than the surgeon.
The guy who brilliantly reconstructed your broken arm, or removed a cancer from your brain, is not necessarily such an expert on how caffeine and other substances in coffee may interact with the (controlled) poisoning that an anesthesia actually is
They don’t want you to drink or eat anything after midnight prior to most surgeries.
So, for me, afterward, I’ll probably get a cup of coffee even if it means cheating, LOL.
Coffee has been shown to be beneficial to one’s health when consumed in moderation, but what about a patient who has recently undergone surgery? According to recent research, having a cup of coffee shortly after an operation can help patients heal faster and be happier. Dr. Kirtly Jones of the University of Utah Health describes the findings of the study and why you should want an espresso after your next surgery.
Thanks for requesting my answer for this question but I don’t have that full knowledge. This is my opinion, if you had a surgery, it has to be done by a doctor, yeah and I advice that you follow the instructions and prescriptions of your doctors as they know what’s best for you. They would most likely let you know when you can take your coffee and if you could have it or not.
You have asked a seemingly simple question! Unfortunately it requires a very complex answer, if it can be answered at all. the information unknown to me to answer it is massive.
Just to start: what is the nature or the surgery, could range from removing a wood splinter to transplanting your liver. Where in the world you are. (regional factors). Are you in a major city with major medical facilities or in the middle if a minor desert.
How old you are, assuming between 12 and 50 years. What kind of coffee are we discussing, and how much of it, there are hundreds of minor compounds in coffee.
Coffee can have many positive and negative effects on many different tissues. it can both calm and cause spams in muscle, or impede healing of skin.
I do not have to write a book here. the bottom line is the that you can not count on answers on this or any social media. you need to consult your Surgeon, primary physician, and drugist. These are the people who know more about you and have the chance to correctly direct your recovery
Good luck to you. Keep asking questions, learn something new each day, it is the only way to be sure your living.
Ask your surgeon.
If I am operating on your back, taking off a skin cancer then you can drink coffee while I am doing it. Just don’t spill it. And make sure you bring one for me – I like a flat white with oat milk.
If you have just had cardiac surgery, you will be unconscious, and after bowel surgery it may be two or three days before you are allowed enough fluids orally.
Generally, once you are allowed to eat and drink normally, there is no reason why the drink should not be coffee. As caffeine is a mild cardiac irritant, it may not be permitted for a while after some heart operations but otherwise there’s really no risk. Surgeons can be picky though, so always ask.
There is no “one size fits all” answer to your question. It depends on your individual situation, the type of surgery you’re having, etc.
You need to ask your doctor, the one who will be performing surgery on you if you can have coffee immediately after your surgery, or if you need to wait.
Depends on the type of anaesthesia and kind of surgery
If it’s a bowel surgery they generally keep you nbm (nil by mouth)for the day and start with sips of water the next day gradually stepping up the diet to clear liquids then all liquids, soft diet and then full diet depending on the bowel sounds etc
If it’s a short procedure where a block is given you usually don’t need to be nbm
For spinal anaesthesia a minimum of 4 hours and for general 6 hours fasting is needed
Starting with water then liquids is good before jumping to caffeinated drinks as you are as it is kept fasting for surgery + nbm post procedure…Inspite of giving anatacids and antiemetics you might have nausea due to anaesthetic agents etc and caffeine might dehydrate you or aggrevate the nausea…start with liquids and then if it is tolerated we’ll switch to coffee /tea if permitted by the anaesthetist/ surgeon
Thanks dear to ask this question.
No dear you should not take any caffeine just after surgery. It could affect our body or we could feel like vomiting. So I would recommend you to take coconut water after coming in consciousness. And your doctor’s advice matter a lot.
Whatever he suggests you take that to keep your body at normal level.
I hope you like it😊
Depends on surgery.
For gut surgery, you probably won’t be able to eat or drink for a while afterwards.
For surgery on your hand?
Once anesthesia has worn off, and you’re out of the recovery room, I don’t see why not.
only after you have urinated and had bowel movement . do not give liquids o r solids to a person until they are fully awake . give iv fluids like D5W
Depends on where / what was the surgery. I’m having laser surgery tomorrow early, in my throat . One night stop. then home for my coffee. So now I’m home. Magical treatment, no muss, no fuss. BIG cuppa of my own brew next.
It depends on what surgery you are having. If there are no limitations by your doctor then Yes, you can. But avoid drinking a lot of coffee… a cup of coffee is fine. (Doctors usually restrict some types of food immediate after surgery according to patient’s condition e.g in oesophageal surgery or —ostomy procedures of your gut)
Yes of course.Only if when you are recover from general anesthesia and it does not involve troublesome bowel anastomosis.
Not knowing what surgery you’re having, as others have said, check with your doctor or the nurse. You may be under dietary restrictions for a period of time.
If they say it’s ok, start out slowly. You may find yourself getting nauseous easily.
If you have an NG tube going into your stomach, you won’t be allowed anything to eat or drink until it’s removed.
“It’s your choice, Doc, but won’t it keep you up all night?”, he said in his best Groucho Marx voice, waving an imaginary cigar. I would highly recommend not asking for medical advice on Quora. The sad thing is, you’ll get lots of answers. This is a question for your doctor.
Depends what kind of Surgery you have! Minor Surgery is ok! Most Orthopedic , only if you are awake not choking! Bowel , Stomach will not allow fluids! Cardiac May be no! Coffee is irritant May Speed Heart Rate! This some General consideration and Rule! Not knowing , what kind of Surgery you have, be Sure you Ask your Surgeon about! If you are in the Hospital or OutPatient Surgery, instructions/ Orders are written any way by Surgeon, about Drink or Food!
Postoperative coffee consumption is effective and safe for enhancing the recovery of gastrointestinal function after abdominal surgery.
Q: Can I have coffee after surgery?
A: What kind of surgery? It matters.
Seriously ask your surgeon before you have the procedure. Surgery anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract including laparascopic cholecystectomy will pretty much mean “no coffee or caffeine or alcohol for a week or so while it heals” but there are other kinds of surgery where it won’t make a difference.
Yes, you can. I am not aware of any surgical procedure that specifically prohibits you from having coffee.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR.
Do you think they are irresponsible and would ‘forget’ to tell you? Or are you neurotic? When there is something specific that doctors want you to do, or don’t want you to do, for the sake of your health or healing, THEY WILL TELL YOU.
Usually if they didn’t expressly say ‘do not …’ I would think you have permission.
Technically it’s a clear liquid, but it has adverse effects. As long as the advérde events don’t effects, coffee could be allowed
After surgery your life will be different. Some food and drink that you used to love will no longer work with your stomach. Is coffee one of them? Particularly for Facelift and Rhinoplasty, we recommend a soft diet. We do not recommend eating a lot of carbohydrates since it can slow down your healing. It’s better to minimize how much you take in during recovery. What you want to think about are foods that are: – High protein – High fat – Low carbs Good carbohydrates are those with high fiber: Boiled and soft vegetables, lentils, and beans. Good high-fat sources include meat, dairy (creme and milk), coconut milk (or oil).
Assuming you are having a medical procedure that will result in not having the option to drink the pot of espresso that you typically have, you might be in for caffeine withdrawal that can be undesirable. A parting migraine is normal with caffeine withdrawal, which isn’t what you need during your recuperation.
If the religionectomy was unsuccessful and tumor decided to bloom into Mormonism, then no, but I would inform my doctor that you’re defeating the surgeon’s post-op sedation with a counterculture stimulant. No the hospital does not appreciate those self-supplied apothecaries, whether the vehicle of delivery is a beverage or solid sustenance.
Thats something you need to ask the doctor. Coffee is not recommended after any form of cardiac surgery…sometimes even a moderate amount of caffeine can increase headaches, blood pressure, nervousness .. on the other side coffee consumption was ok with patients after hysterectomy..as it expedites the time to bowel motility and acceptance to tolerate food …
If you are unsure as I don’t know what kind of surgery this question is related to…as a trial can start with decaf coffeee as it has comparatively very low caffeine compared to regular coffee.should also ask the doctor …
Sometimes people are very sensitive to caffeine anyways .could lead to insomnia, bp issues as well..
I hope it helps..Please share and upvote if you find it useful…
Thanks for reading ☺️
Depends on the surgery. Where in world you are. And if there is somone avaliable to get you a decent coffee. If I can say one thing with certainty I have never had decent coffee from a hospital.
I would ask my doctor, or even the nurse at the surgery center/hospital.
WE don’t know what you are having surgery for and if that affects your caffeine intake.
Dunkin’
Do they pay you a little for questions this silly?? What kind of surgery??? What kind of anesthesia?? Will you be hospitalized. A little more complex, doofus!!
You should consult with your physician to find out. It will depend on the type of surgery you Had as to if coffee will effect anything involved with your surgery
coffee is effective and safe for enhancing the recovery of gastrointestinal function after surgery so you can take coffee after it.
Best to check with your surgeon for an response, sorry, as it is virtually impossible to answer. In fact if you are scheduled for surgery your best bet is to ask the anesthesiologist when you do the pre-op.
Sure. Just get your surgeon to approve a FourBucks Tall Cafe Americano Black with Extra Glucose in an IV bag, to go. There is always a FourBucks between the pharmacy and the gift shop. That way you can have a coffee drip going even before you wake up in the recovery room. Unfortunately, you will not be allowed to bring your own coffee, or other commercial brand. However, since it is administered intravenously, you won’t actually have to drink or taste it.
It really depends on which kind of surgery you had and the duration when you are allowed to intake food and beverages, although there no reason to resist a cup of coffee once it is cleared by a medical professional.
I did, I felt like I had just wakened up after a super deep sleep. So when my oxygen mask was off, I asked the nurse if I could have a coffee to help wake me up a bit because I had a couple of phone calls to make. She didn’t want to give me one at first. She wanted to make sure I wasn’t nauseous. When I told her I wasn’t, and didn’t feel I was going to be, she relented and let me have one. It tasted so good, and was only the hospital-issue instant coffee. (cheap stuff.)
Once you are awake from anesthesia and you are able to sit up and swallow, you can have coffee and food.
The exception would be if your surgery involved your digestive system including your mouth…or if caffeine was contraindicated for health reasons.
People who have had a general anesthetic are usually given sips of water before anything else. By the time you realize you want a cup of coffee you will be awake and alert but this may be several hours after your anesthetic wears off..
I have had coffee with my meals in the hospital as soon as it was safe for me to have solid food. The hospital patient coffee was fairly weak in my opinion, so I had little packets of instant Cafe Bustelo to add to my cup. I limited myself to one cup at each meal. After I was discharged, my espresso machine got some use each morning. There are health benefits to coffee, and no deleterious…
As long as there’s no fluid restrictions, you’re alert, not nauseous or vomiting, and you’ve gotten the approval of your surgeon via their written or verbal orders to your nurse, there shouldn’t be any reason not to.
I would guess it depends on what type of surgery you had . If you had some type of gastrointestinal surgery I would think not right away .I am not a doctor just my opinion but.
Caffeine should not be consumed within the first 4-6 weeks after surgery . If you must, a small cup of decaf (black, no sugar) is fine.This is because it may have an inhibitory effect on wound healing and epithelialisation .
This depends a lot on the surgery and conditions specific to you, so a generally applicable answer cannot be given.
For many surgeries, biopsies, extremity surgeries, hernia repairs, facial surgeries, breast surgery for examples, there should be no serious problem with consuming coffee as soon as you are awake and alert enough to swallow without aspirating (choking).
Many surgeons allow early (day of surgery) intake of liquids, followed by solid food as soon as you are awake and alert enough.
One caveat is that caffeine in coffee causes lowering of the lower esophageal sphincter pressure and predisposes to gastroesophageal reflux and vomiting with possible aspiration of stomach contents. For this reason, coffee might be reasonably avoided until after you are taking other foods without problems.
One exception would be surgery on the pancreas where the answer is NO!
Another exception would be heart surgery where caffeine induced cardiac arrythmias could be a problem.
A third exception would be esophageal surgery or repair of an esophageal perforation where a leak could be catastrophic.
Also, issues regarding your own health and condition may affect this.
Ultimately, I would follow closely the advice and recommendations of your surgeon. Nothing compromises a relationship between a surgeon and patient like a complication or bad outcome due to failure to follow or violation of the surgeon’s recommendations. Remember that you will be looking up at the surgeon from an operating table, then you will be going to sleep and he or she will be standing over you holding a very sharp knife in his or her hand!
Victor Allen’s
Having never had surgery, I don’t know, but I would hope so. But, you’d need to ask your physician.
In the NHS, as soon as you wake up in recovery, the nurse is boiling the kettle and making a nice cuppa tea, with lots of biscuits. Magic!
It’s depend on which type of surgery from which you go through.
Postoperative coffee consumption is effective and safe for enhancing the recovery of gastrointestinal function after abdominal surgery
Two weeks before surgery you should limit the amount of caffeine you ingest daily
Some are allowed to drink within an hour after surgery, which should minimize withdrawal symptoms. But some who have had a longer surgery such as a bowel resection might not be allowed to eat or drink for up to five days.
Yes, you can have coffee after surgery. However, you should speak with your surgeon to get their specific recommendations. Depending on the type of surgery you have, they may recommend that you avoid caffeine altogether.
Definitely depends on the surgery. In most cases, I would say sure.
But if you just got dental surgery, or stomach surgery, or you have heart problems, stay away from caffeine.
Hi
Yes sure why not. There is no restriction on taking liquid diet after the surgery . Only in certain cases there is restriction especially surgery on GIT. In good olden days there was restriction on taking any thing by mouth, because of fear of vomiting. Previously we were restricting food even 6 hours before surgery. Now because of modern technology in anesthesia there restrictions are minimal. Patients San take coffee after the surgery once patient is out of anesthesia and there is no clear post operation notes not to make the patient NPO.
It will depend upon what type of surgery you have had, and what kind of diet your doctor orders for you after your surgery, whether or not caffeine or any of the ingredients in coffee will interfere with your medication or treatment. Sleep is important so that your body can repair itself and heal properly. For that reason alone, I would limit my coffee intake after surgery. It is in your best interests to discuss your questions with your surgeon, and any other doctors involved in your treatment and recovery. This is an important question and should not be addressed in a public forum. This requires the expertise of your physicians and surgeons. Good luck to you!!
Not right away as they’re going to make sure that you’ve recovered from the anesthesia first. Sometine later you will be allowed fluids. Check with your doctor who is going to do this procedure for precise details. All the best.
Depends on the kind of surgery you have had, if stomach based surgery it was ; then a strict NO please ,otherwise you are fine and good to go . 🙂
If you have been drinking coffee all your life without any problems, there’s no reason why you would have problems drinking coffee after surgery.
Depends on the surgery and depends on if you’re on any dietary restrictions.
Ask somebody on your surgical team. If they don’t know, they can probably find out.
A2A
Firstly depends on surgery… if the surgery is of any organ specially abdominal organ then they can refuse it
secondly after any surgery they do NBM( nothing by mouth) till the condition is not stable
Thirdly they adviced u what u should take or what u should not
I honestly wouldn’t recommend drinking coffee after surgery.
I did some experiment with a coffee and documented here .
It makes your blood thick and impacts flow as well.
Postoperative coffee consumption is effective and safe for enhancing the recovery of gastrointestinal function after abdominal surgery.
Hot coffee, as well as other hot liquids, should not be consumed for 24-48 hours after your surgery. The heat can agitate the healing site and prevent it from properly recovering. If you drink an iced coffee or cold brew, make sure to avoid the straw.
Why can’t I drink coffee after surgery?
If you are having a surgery that will result in not being able to drink the pot of coffee that you normally have, you may be in for caffeine withdrawal that can be unpleasant. A splitting headache is common with caffeine withdrawal, which is not what you want during your recovery.
Ask your doctor.
I am not a doctor. I can speculate, but ask your doctor. Don’t trust medical advice from random people on the internet, including me.
Speculatively:
There are plenty of conditions (ulcers, heart operations) where permanently laying off the black stuff would be beneficial.
There are plenty of operations (anything to do with your digestive system, or heart) where adding coffee early could complicate healing.
Right after an operation you’ll still be so pumped full of anaestethics that your system is already dealing with quite enough, thank-you-very-much. Adding caffeine into the mix is just one more toxic chemical that needs removing from the bloodstream.
The mixed signals of “dozing” / “rousing” chemicals might also fool you into thinking you’re more alert than you really are.
In my experience it can take a good 48 hours until the effects of “going under” have really worn off, and caffeine doesn’t counteract it — but ask a doctor.
Good sleep helps healing. Drinking no coffee will help you sleep deeper and heal better.
TL;DR: Ask a doctor.
Peet’s
It sounds like you had surgery from a fake doctor.
If you had a real doctor, you could and should ask him.
Who comes on quora for medical questions?
It depends on the type of anesthesia and type of surgery.
If surgery was done under local anesthesia, then you can take coffee after surgery.
If surgery was under spinal anesthesia, then you have to wait for 4 hours after surgery.
If the surgery was done under sedation, then you have to wait for 2 hours after surgery.
If surgery was under general anesthesia and surgery was not for your gastrointestinal tract, then you can have after about 6 hours.
If the surgery involved your intestines, then you have to wait till your surgeon advises you to have liquids. Usually surgeons wait till bowel activity resumes.
Hi, yes, immediately after, in fact, although hot beverages of any kind , should not, although I had done this with no Ill effects,be drunk between 24–48 hours after.thanks
It depends on what your condition is after surgery and your doctor’s dietary order. If you are not allowed anything by mouth also known as NPO (or Nothing Per Ora) then no. Often times for minor surgeries such as a foot surgery depending on if you are nauseous from the anesthesia or pain meds. Comparable would be open abdominal surgery requiring a large incision such as removal of the spleen where patients are usually NPO until day one after surgery then allowed a clear liquid diet but only if there are sounds your bowel is active and you are not nauseous. Also, if say tonsils are removed cold often feels better than warm/hot on the throat.
I’m sure you have doctors around you after the surgery. They are the ones to ask, not random strangers online.
If your doctor says you can. Personally I’d want a gallon of coffee..I think I’ll make a pot now 🤔☕️
Hot coffee, as well as other hot liquids, should not be consumed for 24-48 hours after your surgery. The heat can agitate the healing site and prevent it from properly recovering. If you drink an iced coffee or cold brew, make sure to avoid the straw.
Ask your Doctor or when you wake up ask the Nurse. Surely you’ve been given a list of do’s and don’ts?
But my advice is drink bottled water as coffee makes your throat slightly dry and as I’m not medically trained I guess it depends on the type of surgery you have.
That would depend on the surgery and I recommend you ask the doctor.
Coffee consumption after surgery is effective and safe to enhance the restoration of gastrointestinal functions after abdominal surgery.
Can you? You can if you want.
BUT, you shouldn’t – according to surgeons-doctors-most medical professionals… because caffeinated drinks inhibit wound recovery.
Also, if you have any gastrointestinal-related surgery, chances are that you may not be allowed to consume any food and drink for a period of time.
Regardless, best to check with your doctor (who understands your medical condition and needs).
Jerry, when you say drink coffee after surgery, do you mean immediately after surgery or days later. Yes, you may drink coffee once you are awake and can tolerate liquids.
Probably, if you can keep it down. I suppose it makes a difference if you had an operation on your foot or on your stomach. Of course if you actually go for surgery you might as well ask them.
Great question actually. When you are inpatient post op they only allow you to have decaf. The caffiene can affect your heart rate and rhythm as it is considered a stimulant and is from the “ eine ” family. This family of “ eine’s ” is for all things stimulating such as Nicott eine , Caff eine , Cod eine , Coca ine , Ephedr ines etc….. See the pattern? 😉
Yes but after 1 day in a non stomach/intestine surgery surgery…
After 2 or 3 days after stomach /intestine surgery..
Jont just start right away with coffee…first take water, then a few juices.. If you feel OK and thers no nausea…. You can go to coffee
Can I have coffee after surgery?
Thank you for the interesting question.
If you can have coffee before surgery and the surgery isn’t to change something so that you would have to stop your having coffee, you would normally be able to have coffee some time after the surgery.
If your doctor hasn’t given you any contrary advice, or doesn’t give you any contrary advice in the meantime, generally you can wait a year and resume drinking coffee.
In other words, ask a doctor, dont ask people who don’t know anything about your condition or the surgery you are having.
Not immediately, you will be given a sip of water if you want it, when you first wake up, when back in your ward bed. You will have a meal later.
your request appears to wanting strong coffee – once you wake up- your blood pressure is monitored post recovery- remember coffee is a stimulant so would definitely not be given. They may allow the coffee with your meal
I would advise against it but ask if you gotta have it
If you’re a heavy caffeine user, cutting back now could help you avoid a headache later. If you’re having surgery and won’t be able to drink the pot of coffee you usually do, you may experience caffeine withdrawal, which can be unpleasant. Caffeine withdrawal can cause a splitting headache, which is the last thing you want during your recovery.
No, for your own peace of mind, it would be best to consult a medical professional about this, and any other questions you might have.
Ask your surgeon or his team. Don’t get the verdict from us idiots out here, we are not intimately familiar with you. Your clinicians are. Ask them.
Absolutely, Doctor! You work hard. Grab a sandwich, too, if you’ve time.
It sort of depends on the surgery.
Sinus surgery, no problem. Heart surgery, might be an issue. Or GI surgery where you are also forbidden to eat or drink. If you have an NG tube, it’s a safe bet that ‘no’ is the answer. Caffeine will increase your heart rate, blood pressure, and bowel activity, so any surgery that might be compromised by these things will be a ‘no’.
They DO make transdermal caffeine, so if it’s just a question of being NPO, a patch will stave off the headaches and vomiting.
Yes, as long as you havent had surgery on your bowels.
Generally there are food restrictions before surgery because we dont want you throwing up. After theater who cares.
This is a question for your surgeon, not Quora.
Everytime a relative of mine has had surgery, the doctor told him or her what they could or could not do after the operation. EVERY TIME.
You can have coffee. But after how many hours…. That your surgeon would decide and it’s better you follow that instruction 👍🏻Sometimes early oral intake than recommended can lead to complications in surgeries
Depends on the type of surgery snd anesthesia. The most common surgeon post-op diet order I saw was DAT, which means diet as tolerated. In practice this meant starting with liquids and jello, then progressing though light fare to solid food. Most coffee drinkers can tolerate coffee pretty quickly.
That would depend on the surgery and it is vest to ask your doctor these questions and not strangers on the internet.
I think yes you can definitely have coffee after your any surgery but you have to just consult with your doctor because they give you some kind of medication after surgery that will maybe interfere with that coffee coffee has a caffeine and you know after surgery you have to be very careful because of your blood because coffee is a little bit blood thinning not that much but in general yes you can have coffee after surgery.
In moderation you can have coffee no problem in that.
Depends , if surgery was related to your GI system , perhaps not. But outpatient surgery not a problem for most
Caffeine can cause dehydration after surgery, caffeine-containing beverages and carbonated beverages may need to be limited based on individual tolerance ,also it depends on the type of surgery you done.
Yes, absolutely. Increased coffee intake can cause tachycardia and palpitations. otherwise its fine to have coffee after a surgery
10 minutes, 10 hours, 10 days, 10 months? Ask the doctor! Although I did just see an article about coffee/caffeine addicts having surgery, particularly those who have significant withdrawal symptoms, and that the withdrawal symptoms do adversely affect their recovery and therapeutic caffeine ( like a cup of Java) should be considered. So you might get it faster than you expected. Do let the doctor know if you get withdrawal symptoms.
That’s not really possible to answer without knowing the specific surgery. But assuming that your doctor told you that you are allowed to start eating and drinking, I think that it’s most likely fine unless you just had cardiac (heart) surgery or a cardiac procedure
Are you asking immediately after surgery?
Then the answer is no
but after 2–3 days you can
Depends on what your having done.. a laryngectomy. Prolly not.. a total knee replacement not a problem. A giant tumor removed from your abdomen gonna stay positive for ya, hope things get going. Generally speaking you advance quickly to a normal diet. But stranger things have happened!!
Depends on the surgery. If it involves your stomach or something that elevating your blood pressure would be a problem, I would hold off. It’s best to ask your Surgeon.
Eight O’Clock
Ask your doctor, or your nurse.
I’m not a doctor or a nurse. I don’t know what kind of surgery you’re facing. I don’t know anything about your general health.
I’m not qualified to answer this question at all. Talk to somebody who is qualified.
Original question: Can I have coffee after surgery?
Depends on the surgery but, in general, they may try to start you with something less hazardous like ice chips or water. Again, depending on your surgery and type of anesthetic , some things might be inappropriate for a while. Most patients progress to coffee or other ingestible items pretty quickly.
I have had coffee restrictions before surgery, but never any such restrictions after surgery. On a personal note you may want to avoid caffeine that day after surgery as you probably will want to sleep the day away and caffeine could interfere with that.
