Clear fluids, I wouldn't recommend it - because its a bit of a gastric irritant that soon after surgery. But yes - you can have coffee on full fluids.
The pre-op diet I was given did mention coffee on it. But the post-op diet did not specify. I assumed then that it was off limits.
I suffered for weeks without coffee. A day or two before I was to graduate to the next level (ie mushies to real food), I was in a coffee shop with friends and was desperate to have one. I phoned the clinic for advice, and was told....."oh, you could have been drinking coffee all along. There is no prohibition against it".
I downed two lattes in record time.
