Just posted this in post op but I need as much feedback as possible ! :

So I'm having the hardest time deciding this ...

All I want is a cup of coffee. My doctors office told me it increases the risk of stomach cancer to have caffeine. But I know SO many banders that drink coffee ! Tomorrow I have to work from 7:30am to 10pm and I don't know how ill survive. Can 1 cup really hurt ? I was banded sept 6th so it's a little over 2 weeks. What do you guys think? Any coffee drinkers out there ?

I don't drink coffee but drink about 10-14 cups of hot and iced tea a day. I could not have caffeine for many many months after the band. I brew my own iced tea with Decaf bags, still. I do use decaf instant coffee in my chocolate Protein Shakes. Maybe time to learn to drink decaf. The doctors know best.

Good luck with everything.

Stomach cancer? That's a new one on me? I drink coffee every day. Only one or two cups.

I'm not advocating you go against your doctors guidelines but you might ask what study he got his information from?

[skinnyboundsky 32]

Lol it was my NUT who said it. Thank you for the research !!! I will be having coffee tomorrow

[ChicagoRose 650]

I drink 1-2 cups a day, hot or iced. I have given up so much already, like pop, that I can't imagine it can kill me to keep having coffee. It's a lifestyle change, not meant to stop your life!

I drink a LOT of coffee. My doctor said don't drink your calories, nothing specific about coffee, but I can't live without the stuff. I have 3 cups a day on average at work, flat whites, no sugar. If I didn't, they'd get cranky lellow, and no one wants cranky lellow. So I figure I'm doing the world a community service really by making sure I get my caffeine.

I'm going into my 8th year of being banded. My doctor said coffee was fine.

I drink 2 medium coffees a day... sometimes 1 small, 1 medium... with 2 cream and sweetner... pre-band I drank 2 extra large coffee with cream. (everything in moderation).

I guess each doctor is different. I've had several physicals since being banded and am in great health.

My doctor says just one cup a day,, because caffeine can cause dehydration. But I have pretty much gotten away from it, as I could not have it for the first 6 weeks I just sort of got out of the habit. However I went to coffee with my boyfriend tonight!!

I drink one sometimes two cups a day. I add a scoop of Unjury Protein Powder to it. I would never get all my Proteins in otherwise.

[Lady VS 1,147]

Yeah I have never heard of coffee causing stomach cancer either. I drink coffee EVERYDAY. Can't live without it.

[skinnyboundsky 32]

Thank you a all for your input ! My coffee got me through the day lol

[kll724 3,055]

I would never get through the day without my coffee to start out. There are studies both ways, good and bad. It is a stimulant for me, and tea does not do it! Best wishes, and try following doctors orders!

I make an iced coffee with Unjury and soy milk every morning. It gets me through the day.

[LapbandLo 294]

I made an iced coffee with 1 scoop vanilla Unjury, 1 K cup from my keurig, 1c skim milk, and 3tbs sugar free Creamer. Delicious and 37 grams of protein!
