Hey everyone,

I have heard that we,should not drink our calories...

Is it really that bad to drink iced coffee with milk and Splenda?

I hate to sound ignorant but I am not adding alot of crap to it but I want to be doing the best lapband I can be

Thanks

Mary

I make sure I track everything and we all seem to be drinking coffee or tea at some point durning the day. I go to starbucks and make sure I ask for a skinny/sugar free whatever and the tracker has it on there.

I have continued to drink my one glass of iced coffee every day. I add stevia and a small splash half n half. This glass is the only calories of the day that I drink...

I rarely visit a Starbucks anymore...

I still have my daily coffee. I use the flavored Creamers but only about 50 cal worth. If you just use milk and stevia you'll be fine. I actually gave up coffee for several months but once it got cold I gave in lol

But coffee already has a flavor, why would you ruin it with other stuff??? Heathen!!! ;)

My NUT says a cup of coffee a day is fine, but any more than that reduces the amount of Calcium that our bodies absorb. Also, I've been instructed to not take calcium supplements within 1 hour of drinking coffee because they negate each other.

I drink up to 3 Decaf coffees a day. I measure in 2tbls of sf coffee mates for 30 calories each cup and I also track them.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
