I was told that new research proves it can't effect the band, however, it can stimulate your appetite.

Can have adverse effect on high blood pressure meds also.

I always thought caffeine was an appetite suppressor?

[Kinley7390 80]

I should add that I know it can make sugars rise in diabetics. I have to limit my caffeine for that reason alone.

My dietitian says stop the coffee and my surgeon says it's okay.

So, I drink 1 cup in the morning.

I have not had any concerns with my coffee. I did give up all sodas which has not been as hard as I thought it would be, but leave my coffee alone LOL

LOL I so agree. I haven't had any carbonation in almost 10 months, I'll be damned if I'm giving up coffee too!

☕I like that! Every dietician, nutritionist, doctor is different. We all need to take care of ourselves and live life. Being a banister is a Life Choice, NOT a diet. That is why I got a band. I enjoy my life, food, smell the flowers, all in moderation.
