Coffee good/ bad effects on banded



Recommended Posts

Hmm, coffee *can* upset my stomach too now. I find I drink way less milky coffee - like cappucinos and lattes. It might be the milk, but I do now just prefer a long black with cold milk in it. I even find myself specifically going to McDonalds in the food court for coffee becuase I can get an ordinary filtered coffee, not a super strong espresso like all the coffee bars make.

I am so glad for this post. My surgery is scheduled for April 3rd and I started not drinking coffee today. It is 9:35pm and I am suffering. I have been yawning all day and I have a headache. I drink three large cups of coffee a day. I am addicted. My surgeon told me on Friday that I cannot have any coffee. He said it stimulates hunger and something about the healing process. I don't understand how some surgeons require different diets and we all have the same band. Has anyone heard about coffee affecting the healing process? Will it mess up the band? I tried Decaf today and it is not the answer. I may be able to handle the hunger if I take a sip or two with the band, but I don't want to get in the way of the healing process.

I LOVE my coffee and drink it daily. I too drink the strong stuff. I have had no problems drinking it and I asked my doc about it and he said it was ok. When it comes to Starbucks I have gone to the skinny latte so I can have my flavored drinks without all the extra fat of specialty drinks. :cursing:

I actually had coffee & tea on my post op liquid list. Your right - amazing how many different instructions there are amongst surgeons.

I have a cup of coffee in the morning but I put sugar free Creamer or skim milk in it and so far no problems. I do find that I slowly drink my coffee and then wait and have my Breakfast shake or whatever Protein I am having so that I don't use coffee to wash out what nourishment I'm taking in.

You had surgery on St. Patty's Day and can have coffee this soon??:crying:

I have been off caffiene since my pre-op diet (banded 1/22) and just started re-introducing it to my diet. I have Migraines, and I'm back on caffiene at the ADVICE of my neurologist. He thinks that might be why my headaches have been worse since being banded.

I make a pitcher of iced tea every day (half caffiene, half herbal) and drink it throughout the day.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
