Who Still Drinks Caffeine In The Morning??



Recommended Posts

I really really enjoy my 1 cup of tea or 1 cup of coffee in the a.m. with caffeine. I usually don't eat Breakfast, just the tea or coffee. Is anyone else still drinking 1 cup of caffeine in the a.m. I know they say no caffeine, so I was wondering. Thanks!

Try and do a little breakfast though, it will start up your metabolism HOURS earlier than usual and speed up the weight loss.

I was never told no caffeine. I drink unsweet tea all day. I would hate to go without it.

Me too, coffee with caffeine in the the morning, one cup early afternoon, and Decaf while I'm watching TV at night. Nobody told me caffeine was out, and I was also served coffee in the hospital! I don't see why we would need to change something like this for the sake of the band?

Most of what I've read says no caffeine for a few weeks while you are healing from your surgery, but I dont know many people who actually abstain from it....it's such an addiction. I've never been a coffee drinker but since I've discovered using Protein powders in it, I enjoy it a lot....it's like a great sweet treat in the mornings. (coffee plus a scoop of vanilla/cinnamon protein, or a scoop of cappacino protein, or scoop of chocolate protein.....etc).

I will say I cut down a LOT prior to surgery and put myself mainly on Decaf becuase I suspected I wouldnt have the stomach capacity for coffee afterwards and I was right. coffee filled me up and meant I couldnt fit in more nutritious liquids.

I didnt want to ahve to deal with caffeine withdrawal whilst I was recovering, so cut down gradually over months.

But I"m back to my regular consumption now, I love my coffee.

I couldnt imagine NOT having my moning coffee (speaking of which, let me grab a sip). Right after surgery I didnt have the taste for it. And it seems like I had to slowly introduce it back into my morning routine. 2 years later and everything is fine. 3-4 cups a morning, and some days an ice-coffee later in the day.

Good luck - and remember, if you cant tolerate it NOW, wait a couple of weeks and try again.

      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.
