No...and I rarely drink it now. I had a lot of headaches during pre-op while my body was withdrawing from it and I really don't miss it.

Funny you would mention this - I was banded on the 16th and was close to a Diet Coke "addict". I have not had it since, and the same with coffee. However, I had one cup of coffee today with a little sugar free Creamer. Where as it used to do a LOT for me; it didn't give me any satisfaction. I am going to stay away from the Diet Sodas going forward as it is, and as for the coffee; I guess I just don't crave it that much now, if at all.

(I will still miss my Diet Coke - it was soooooo good).

I just read a comment further down where it talked about having had all one's hydration fluids for the day. My surgeon's dietitian did say, as does my Manual, that coffee does not count toward my daily liquid intake.

Was told no soda due to the carbonation factor, but that fountain soda was ok. I love my diet coke and have 1 from a soda fountain every day

I gave it up about a month before surgery. For me, I can't drink soda so I don't need caffeine. Very rarely I might have some coffee. Apparently it's not good for your appetite and your hydration, thats why no caffeine. Regardless, it's not good for you ;) mind as well give it up.

Doctor told me no coffee. What I heard was like Charlie Brown's teacher talking to him: "blah, blah, blah, blah". I had coffee the morning after surgery and have had it every day since. My thoughts are I gave up EVERYTHING else but I won't give up my morning coffee. I have two cups of black coffee a day and have never had a problem.

My NUT actually suggested that I start my mornings with my usual cup of coffee--she says the warmth will help loosen everything up so I can easily have my Protein Shake later in the a.m. I haven't been banded yet (waiting for insurance approval), but I have no plans to stop drinking coffee!

      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.
