Here's a possibility as to why coffee isnt the best thing for LP patient|

Caffiene and the Appetite

When you drink too much coffee, it stimulates your body's desire for higher calories and sugar. The body gets this need met through eating rice, potatoes, fruit, breads and sweets. These food are high in carbs. Not only that, excessive caffeine can make you jittery and trigger emotional stress. This stress sometimes leads to overeating for comfort. The stress also creates a fight-or-flight response that triggers the body's need for food, hence the increased appetite.

Coffee is also acidic and can leach Calcium out of the bones. Ideally, we wat our bodies in an alkaline state.

Hello,

My name is Darlene and I was banded on August 24, 2011. I have had two fills. I just found this sight and find it very helpful. My pre surgery weight was 248 and my current weight is 243. I do not think I am in the green zone yet either.
