gbags 0 Posted April 9, 2006 I'm three weeks after banding. Has anyone had any problems drinking regular coffee? I Usually only drank a cup or two in the morning before surgery. I switched to Decaf but would like to switch back? My doctors office suggested waiting three months? Please advise if anyone has had any issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJChick 3 Posted April 9, 2006 coffee was on my list of Clear liquids that I could drink right away. They even gave it to me in the hospital (yes regular coffee). Enjoy !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elisabethsew 50 Posted April 9, 2006 I had coffee the day after surgery without any problems. The only thing I noticed was that my regular size cup (12 oz) filled me up. I used an eight ounce cup until yesterday (post-op day 9) and now tolerate the regular size. Enjoy YOUR coffee! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jammin & Losin 1 Posted April 10, 2006 I have never been told I couldn't drink COFFEE....However I was told to drop the regular sugar and creams in my coffee because of the extra fat and calories. I now only use Splenda and 2% milk in my coffee! I couldn't start my day with out coffee. It is what gets me going in the mornings!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReneBean 3 Posted April 10, 2006 A life without coffee would be no life at all! Caffeine is my drug of choice. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bandayed 0 Posted April 10, 2006 I gave up caffeine prior to surgery, and I do think no caffeine helps with dieting (no yo yo metabolism). That having been said, I lasted about a month and switched back to having AM coffee with no problems. I love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
