Regular Coffee



Recommended Posts

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.

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!

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!!!

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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
