I was a coffee drinker prior to surgery and still am after surgery. I was banded 13 months ago and I am down 100 lbs. On the way home from the hospital I stopped to get some coffee. I can't imagine life without coffee. :)

i drink a coffee each and every morning

half reg and half decaf

(i am a weirdo as i drink mine black)

i highly doubt (but could be wrong as i am not a doctor) that

a cup or two of coffee would hurt you.

ps-got a coffee 3 days after surgery (didnt drink it all but had alittle) :)

I had my mother bring me a cup of coffee to the hospital, and stopped on the way home for another. I have it with french vinalle Creamer and splenda. I do add up the calories and add them to my daily count. I had surgery 2 years ago, and have lost 70 pounds so far.

I drink my coffee every day! dietician told me to use FF 1/2 &1/2 for creamer. I use Equal. Sometimes I like it black. I drink both Decaf and regular, but mostly decaf. Every night I make coffee and pop the decantur in the fridge till the next day, when I make ICED coffee!

Dietician also told me if I'm missing my mochas THAT much, to: make how coffee, add cocoa in it while it's still hot and add your creamer. It's not awesome but serves the purpose well! I sweeten mine.

BTW, I suffer from OCD.

Obsessive Coffee Disorder!

I drink a 16 oz cup of coffee with a scoop of Protein powder for Breakfast each morning. It's quite delicious.

Don't tell me I can't have my coffee.... I'm a real grizzle bear in a morning without it, just ask my hubby.

Splenda and a splash of milk for me. :-)

Oh that's a relief. That was on my next set of questions! I drive 15 km to work in the morning, if I tried that without caffeine it would be like trying to fly with one wing.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
