I say : DRINK A CUP OF COFFEE!! Why are you not having it? Are you giving it up cuz your doc says you can't have it? That's fine - I don't see where the problem is, but if you're following dr's instructions, so be it. But if you're giving it up cuz you don't think it's good for your band - hooey. A cup or 2 of coffee isn't going to hurt it. Now what hurts your weight loss is to get one of the fancy cappucino drinks at the coffee house everyday. Those have sometimes 500 calories in them.

I've been drinking coffee since I was on the liquid diet 2 1/2 yrs ago. It actualy heps my band lossen a little so I can eat Breakfast. Good luck!

I use the sugar free flavored Creamers. They're about 10 calories per tbs. If I go to Dutch Brothers or Starbucks, I get a skinny latte (made with Splenda and non fat milk). I can't stand black coffee either. You have to work your favorite foods into your daily diet otherwise you'll start feeling ripped off and go overboard. Are you on Clear liquids, is this why s/he said no milk or sugar?

I miss coffee. My reflux prevents me from enjoying a cup in the morning now.

I am guessing you are on Clear Liquids right now. Stick to your surgeons diet. Don't put anything in your new tummy that will make it churn to digest. Let it heal. Do you like hot tea? It has caffeine and there are several flavored teas that you might like in the meantime.

      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.
