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 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!

      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.
