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.
