My surgeon okays coffee, even with real cream. He says he drinks coffee and understands the need for it, and doesn't poo poo it.

I usually drink two cups a day in the morning, sometimes three if it's a rough day. I'll have iced tea in the afternoon, sometimes.

But I also get in all of my Water, and my meals. I usually will drink my coffee before I eat my breakfast. If I need that extra cup, I have it around 10 am, which is usually an hour after I've eaten breakfast.

I was never told to go Decaf. As usual, follow your doctor's guidelines.

I'm a stone cold addict!! I drink coffe from the minute I get up until the minute I go to bed and have for years and years. Of coarse I stop before and after meals but as soon as the wait time is up the cup is full again. I do do decafe in the afternoon and evening but coffee is just one of those things I haven't been able to give up.

I drink three half mugs every morning, with a flavored coffeemate. Sometimes SF or FF, sometimes full sugar, full fat. I drink them 1/2 at a time cuz I drink much slower now and I don't like when it gets cold.

If I want more (not lately, it's too hot) I'll drink Decaf all day long.

I have one to two cups a day. My doctor says it is okay as long as I do not eat and drink.

My Dr's instructions say it's ok to drink coffee "as tolerated" According to the nut. they are concerned about irritation of the stomach that caffeine could cause.

I started drinking 1/2 regular and 1/2 decaff at about 2 weeks out, with lots of ff milk and splenda. I've found that I love iced coffee made the same way, in a big cup with lots of ice and I put a scoop of vanilla Protein powder in there too. Lasts all day, if I replenish the ice when it melts. Yummy!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
