coffee n weight loss



Recommended Posts

I drink more coffee now than I ever did. Probably 5-6 cups a day with sugar free creamer. I count those calories. I try to drink Decaf as much as possible. I had steady weight loss so it hasn't affected mine however I m trying to cut back cuz I know too much caffeine not good for me!

I'm a big coffee drinker....so I picked up where I left off maybe 24hours after surgery...on my 2nd cup as I type this, @ 5am.....then heading off to the gym.

Never affected my weight loss.....

My weight loss has always been about the Quantity and Quality of the food I eat...very little, and very good......

I drink at least 2 large cups of coffee a day. I, like, B-52, returned to coffee shortly after surgery. I drink with skim, which is considered clear liquid. So, after putting up with clear tea for a week, I switched to coffee. Best wishes. Karen

I specifically asked about coffee when I went for my first appt. Dr. said coffee is fine but not soda. which I can live without... coffee would have been a deal breaker... I have mine every morning with truvia and heavy cream (small amt.) I drink about 2 cups each morning , then maybe a cup in the afternoon if our neighbors come over.. no problem with my weight loss and it doesn't seem to make me hungrier... I have lost 23 lbs since surgery on jan. 15.

The only time coffee affects your weight loss is if you sin against nature and put something that is non-coffee in the cup with it and don't count the calories. My Doc is LDS and has no problems with his patients drinking coffee, which told me he was the Dr. for me. Btw, sitting here with my first cup of fresh roasted coffee from India, steeped to perfection for 4 minutes and then straight to my cup.

Terry, I love your posts, you make me laugh every time :)

I drink 2 cups a day with sugar free creamer and stevia. My NUT was okay with it. I did cut down though, from 4 cups a day. I've been losing consistently (except for 1 month I plateaued, but that happens) and the key is if you track it, then you don't go overboard.

Plain coffee is considered a calorie-free drink. My surgeon said the reason he wanted me to be coffee-free during my two-week pre-op diet was so that I wouldn't be having coffee withdrawal during surgery. Made sense to me. After surgery, he said coffee was fine. Of course that doesn't mean you can have a Starbucks carmel cafe latte full cream with whipped cream on top (or the like)! Those yummy yummies are yummy for a reason--LOTS of calories! I have one large cup with a bit of skim milk every morning--virtually calorie-free. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
