My dietician had it on the list of stuff I can drink.

I've been drinking it no problems (was banded 31st May) and have found no problems with doing so.

All caffeinated beverages are potentially irritating to the stomach if you're sensitive, I think. But lord knows, I couldn't live without coffee.

I was banded in Feb and have been drinking it . no problem. I was even drinking it during my diluted liquid phase. I could not live without my coffee.< /p>

I drink 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning. I have no problems drinking it since banding.

Gotta have the coffee!! I put in reg sugar and fat free creamer...I think I have given up enough to be able to enjoy coffee the way I like it. May be a bad attitude, but the weight is still coming off...........

I was told no regular coffee until 3 months out. I have been drinking Decaf (with a little reg. coffee every once in a while as a cheat). I think the decaf is a cheap fake and really want to get back to drinking regular coffee, I have promised I would cut back. Before banding I was drinking a pot a day, columbian dark. My mouth still waters just thinking about it. I am hoping at my July appt. he will let me have my coffee again.

No problem with coffee! Gotta have it. However, when I was first banded, I sipped coffee on days 2-3, then added V-8 on day 4 and, I believe, all of that was too acidic. I began having trouble with reflux, PB's, swelling and got myself into a big mess early on with being too restricted due to swelling. If I could go back, I would lay off the coffee for at least a few weeks, if possible. Or I would keep the coffee and drop the V-8. Just be careful in the beginning and listen to your body. Otherwise, look forward to a happy life WITH coffee after banding.

coffee is actually REALLY hard on the ol' tummy....VERY acidic. I gave it up a while ago and am surprised that doctors are saying it's okay. It's really hard on the tum plus caffeine.

Got to have my coffe too!

My Dr. says I can have coffee

I was told coffee is fine as long as you had no acid problems prior to banding. If you had reflux leading up to banding, you should avoid coffee.
