1shauna1 129 Posted April 25, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tym4me 206 Posted April 25, 2012 I drink way too much mmmm lol. However i personally would like to cut down since i drink coffee in place of Water also ive been told my inflammatory issues might be lessened if i cut out the caffeine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laulau2199 5 Posted April 26, 2012 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1shauna1 129 Posted April 26, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandagay 93 Posted April 27, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbarreto 38 Posted April 29, 2012 I gave up coffee a week before surgery so i would detox before hand...it was a hard three days nd so far its been two n a half weeks without it. 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twi 40 Posted April 29, 2012 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???
