Coffee talk

[katieb 80]

I have a venti skinny Carmel macchiato from starbucks almost daily. My nut said this was fine. Not only am I getting 12 oz of skim milk, but it's also my guilty pleasure. So, of she said caffeine is ok, then it's ok. ????

Thanks everyone for the input. Good to hear because I honestly don't think I could live without coffee!

I did not drink coffee or tea for 5 months after surgery, we were told never to drink anything caffeinated. But after 5 months I began drinking 1/2 Caf, and love it! I can only drink 1 cup, 2 gives me the jitters!!! You just have to listen to your body. It takes time to know how things work with our sleeves. It's been 1 year for me now. There are still things that don't agree with me, mainly red meat, rice, fried foods, so I stay from them. But my one cup of 1/2 Caf in the morning and one cup in mid afternoon, if need a pick up or something to warm me up works great for me!!

I quit coffee after surgery and didn't have any for a few weeks. Then I drank Decaf for about a week, then half caf for about two weeks. After that I allowed myself one cup each morning. Now I have 1-2 cups each morning. On Saturday and Sunday mornings I probably drink 4-5 cups. It does not stimulate my hunger. In fact, quite the opposite. Coffee is acidic, so it may "feel" like hunger. Taking a PPI moderates this for me. I have found that there are some coffee blends that are extremely acidic and I try to avoid those. I have a Keurig at home and a small one at work.
