Is Coffee Going To Ruin My Weight Loss?



Recommended Posts

Thanks Skyvic, that is so encouraging!! I'll sacrifice anything to keep the coffee, it's good to see that it won't necessarily wreck me. Can I ask how many cups a day/week you have? Do you limit yourself? I would have killed for a second cup this afternoon, but I didn't let myself have one.

I drink my Decaf with FF 1/2 + 1/2 and Equal. OR, I drink caffeinated Hazelnut.

My question for you guys....I want to drink flavored decaf, black...but can't find any.

Do you know of any websites that sell coffee?

i am a black coffee drinker. i now drink half reg and half Decaf.< /p>

do they not have ff Creamers and sugar free substitutes you could use?

i am guessing a wee bit of either wont make a hill of Beans if you drink one or two cups a day..sorry, wish i could offer more :mellow:

i drink coffee black without sugar. i have up to four cups a day... one of them is decaf. it hasnt made the slightest difference to my weight loss.

My friend (who also loves creamer) swears that Starbucks Sumatra blend is the best coffee ever and he can drink it black. I've been meaning to try it sometime, but they're expensive!

Oh, and Jellyfish, you have the most beautiful dog!

Thanks!! He was my Christmas present last year. Can you believe nobody wanted him and he had been in a shelter for all four years of his life? He's been the best dog ever. I love yours too, those perky ears are too cute!

I drink one 8-10oz cup of coffee a day before Breakfast in the morning. I use reg sugar and reg creamer, flavored ones too. I have to have my coffee the real way. I am still losing weight doin have to say coffee hasn't affected my weight loss but I didn't cut back. I use to drink 3-4 cups a day and now I try and have 1. Once in a while I'll have 2.

I don't see anything wrong with drinking your coffee with regular creamer and sugar, it's just 10 oz, so I don't think damage is being done. I commend you (actually, I'm jealous of you :P ) for drinking 1-2 per day! I need those big 16 oz. mugs or more. That's my reason for using sweetener and FF 1/2 + 1/2...if I didn't I'd gain all sorts of weight.

I wish I could use real sugar because it's pure, not manufactured sweetener. That always bothers me, my usage of sweetener, it must be bad for me. I started drinking it black, but still crave the sweetener and cream. I guess I have to take things small steps at a time. :rolleyes:

Good job Kristen! Keep on losing...

I drink two Keurig coffee cups per morning with quite a bit of creamer. I'm not changing unless they come up wit the most awesome sugar free and fat free creamer. I drink it every day. I will never touch carbonated drinks again and have not since one month before my surgery.

      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.
