Does anyone still wake up and have that cup of hot coffee just like before you got your band? The craving yo hold that hot cup was overwhelming today so I made myself a cup. Tastes like heaven. I use 1% milk and only one sugar anyway so I don't think its bad. Tea just hasn't been cutting it! Should I not have had the coffee and stick to tea or not worry..its only one cup !!

My nutrionist said that I could have my one cup of coffee in the morning with fat free half and half and splenda. I didn't have it the 2 days after surgery but I have had it ever since.

The stomach is a muscle and caffeine can cause it to move too much. Caffeeine also will dehydrate a body that doesn't take in enough fluids. For these two reasons, my doc says absolutely no caffeeine. I have replaced my much loved morning coffee with a flavored Decaf, and now that my body is used to no caffeeine, I don't even miss a thing. I get to have my coffee, and I get to drink it away from home as well. It's just not worth the possibilities involved, so I broke my addiction to caffeeine.

I gave up my morning cup for about two months but once it started getting cold in the mornings I started to crave the warmth of it. So I'm back on the juice.

My dr said it was fine to have coffee even in the Clear liquids stage but no Creamer. (Which I cannot do!) This is why I originally broke the habit.

      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.
