Caffeine

[Lose100 178]

From this forum I see that different surgeons tell us different things.

I drink 1-2 cups of coffee. My stomach does fine. Nutritionist says 1 cup fine and to add nonfat milk powdered or to add Protein drink as creamer....I still like the International Hershey's Creamer (my downfall but I'm ok with this for now). If I feel that this is a stumbling block, then I will take it out of my daily routine. As it gets hotter outside, I'll probably get away from the coffee...I try to drink more Water too.

My surgeon had me give up coffee until 6 weeks post op so that my stomach wouldn't be irritated. I drink 1 cup in the morning and occasionally have another one in the evening, but that's the extent of my caffeine consumption.

Most physicians tell you to stop drinking coffee due to the fact it is a diaretic and they want to make sure your getting enough Fluid prior to drinking.

I drink probable 12 oz a day I'm 4 weeks post op have little restriction due to no fill yet and have no problem but I also drink over 60 oz of Water a day. Everyone is different though

I, too, drink the sf vanilla iced coffee at McD's...but 120 calories sounds awefully low. I watch them put the cream in and it's quite a bit. Besides, I drink a large! Gotta love my iced coffee!

I'll check McD's nutrition chart.

I was on the website and there's nothing there about a sf vanilla iced coffee...

[meyouus 415]

Oh they have it alright. I've asked for vanilla flavoring and they always ask whether I want regular or sugar free.

I think it's kind of new, it may not yet be on the website, or even on their nutrition list.

Im getting me one right out of work!! It's too hot today here in Jersey!!!!

[meyouus 415]

Just make sure you tell them! And I think I'm gonna get one too!
