Bronwen 11 Posted September 26, 2012 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. 2 Angelizz10 and AnnaRabbit reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted September 26, 2012 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) 1 Angelizz10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My job depends in it!!! Lol 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.

amyknecht 8 Posted September 27, 2012 I sometimes add vanilla or chocolate Protein Powder to my coffee...tastes like one of those fancy coffee drinks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meyouus 415 Posted September 27, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

♕ajtexas♕ 3,771 Posted September 27, 2012 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. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shackwacky 72 Posted September 27, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
