Coffee???



Recommended Posts

I use either, I just prefer the taste and after effects of the "light" Maxwell House.

I've never had a problem with coffee, as a matter of fact, DH had to stop at first store he came to that had good coffee and get me a large cup on the ride home from the hospital.

I'm on my third cup of the day.

coffee? Yes please, make mine a quad americano with cinamon and room!

Search "coffee" and/or caffein (but spell it correctly for better resutls :)) and you will find all the really great conversations about this subject

Another addict here. I have 2-3 cups of the real thing every day with sweetener and either real milk (at home) or Coffee-mate (at work). Couldn't face the world without it.

I drink 2 large mugs of regular coffee a day. When I went to the pre-surgery dietician, she told me that a cup or two would be OK. She just didn't want me drinking too much. I don't know that I could start my day with Decaf, i need that jolt early in the morning. I tried to sustitute decaf for the 2nd cup but was getting terrible headaches,wasn't worth it.

Hi all, I am also a caffeine fiend. My dietician said no coffee, but my surgeon said coffee in moderation. Since I work full time, 11pm till 7am, I definitely drink my coffee! Although now, I drink a ton of Water throughout the day to counter-act the caffeine. And no, I don't tell the dietician!

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
