I do have 1-2 8oz cups of coffee per day. With half & half, and sweetened with splenda. It is the one they I could not give up. Unlike many who drink for the caffeine I actually enjoy the flavor! LOL!

I drink A LOT of tea everyday. I gave up sodas but I cannot give up the tea. I have to have my caffeine!

I did, for a while almost 2 years. But I have gotten lax and started drinking a bit more caffeine (currently working almost 90 hours a week due to overtime so gotta stay away somehow lol)

I drink Decaf hot/iced. I use fat-free coffe-mate Creamer and 0 calorie equal when I make it at home. At the coffee shop, I get it with easy cream and equal. I've tried it with skim, it just doesn't do it for me.

I do drink iced tea or coffee almost daily. I don't drink sodas though. I don't drink more than a glass or two so I am not worried about too much caffeine. Just like anything else, moderation is important.

I drink espresso with canned light whipped cream which adds the creaminess and sweetness and very few calories. It's my favorite part of the day and I have between 2-3 shots.

I LOVE coffee! Even on a good day when my willpower is at it's highest, I don't want to give it up. I'm trying to work my way up to drinking it black because I just can't tolerate artificial sweeteners (still experimenting with finding on that I like too), but it hasn't been easy. Still, not giving up! I'm a 2-3 cups a day person.

I just went back to coffee at 3 weeks post op. I was drinking Decaf tea at home, but I can't do decaf coffee.

I usually have one cup of coffee in the morning, then at home I drink regular tea with splenda. Usually at work I have some tea flavored something in my Water (I dislike plain Water SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH).

Since I've been drinking coffee daily since I was 16 yrs. old, I would definitely say that I'm a caffeine addict! I've tried to switch to Decaf, but get terrible headaches. Since I was banded (July 2010), I've gone from 3-4+ large cups/mugs to 1-2 daily, with Splenda and fat free unflavored creamer or just with fat free flavored creamer. My coffee us the one thing that I just won't give up. Sodas are out, alcohol is out, but I need my coffee!

      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.
