ainnjay 1 Posted June 10, 2010 While I was doing my pre-surgery appts with my nut she had me go to decaf...well that wasn't working so I stayed on the caffeine and haven't turned back since. I have been banded for 9 months, I have 6-8 cups in the morning with my Protein shake and then when I get to work for break I have another 20 oz, so coffee is my best friend. I don't sleep very much so at 3:00 in the morning it is something that I crave. Nothing bad has come of this so I don't feel like I have to stop drinking my regular mocha flavored coffee. Wow Khunt! That's a lot of coffee...even for me!! And I'm a coffee fiend...the stronger the better! I'm going to my doctor on Monday (6/13) to get my staples out and am going to talk to him about it. I'm gonna be very "frank" with him. I LOVE my coffee, but knew going in that I would need to give it up. If I don't have to, I don't want to... Oh...and you mention you don't sleep much....uh...do ya think maybe it's all the coffee??? Sorry...I couldn't resist!! (promise...just kiddin with you) Have a great day!
