You could try half regular, half Decaf and gradually cut it out? Do you have to fully cut it out? I have one to two cups a day of the high test (lol) and I don't plan to stop. I try to drink more Water to accommodate that.

I am addicted to coffee as well and I don't think I can give it up! I gave up my diet cokes and I can't imagine life without any caffeine. Do you know why the doctors prefer we don't drink coffee after being banded?

If you drink too much it can dehydrate you, and being dehydrated = tighter band. Also, you need to drink Water and coffee doesn't count towards that.

I gave up my diet cokes (sad sigh). I drink a lot of iced tea sweetened with splenda. I could never ever give that up!

I can say i actually feel great waking up now n when i can drink it again next week i will be using decaf..one less stimulant in my body...n fyi caffine is a natutal appetite stimulant

I drink lots of coffee now two large sugar free vanilla ice coffees a day from McDonald's 120 cals each per fitness pal It's worth it to me but I make sure I drink at least two large smart waters a day too. I was a twelve pack a day soda drinker before yes 12. I quit slowly and had no caffeine for two months then decided to try it again and I started losing wt again? I did get a small full around this time too but the sweet coffee helps no eat other high cal sweets and I drink it slow do it last a long time less Snacks. It works for me???

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
