I have one cup every morning and have had no problems. Coffee is a diuretic so just keep up on the other liquids and you'll be fine. I gave up cigarettes, sugar,carbonated drinks and most carbs so I had to have one vice...lol.

I got my band Jan 10th and have been doing great. I am into mushy foods and other than a little incident with tuna salad have had no problem. Won't be having tuna salad for a looooong time..lol. My list says boiled, moist really well cooked meat. I was on an archeological dig of my freezer and came across a pot roast. I'm thinking crock pot for hours equals moist and juicy. So I nestled it down in the crock pot with a ton of carrots and a couple of small potatoes and flipped the switch. Hours later after smelling it and driving myself crazy it was falling apart. Got myself a small piece cut it up really good put plenty of juice on it and took a small bite. It was sooooooooo good. I really enjoyed it for the brief time I had it...aaaarrrrrrgh. I can mash the carrots and potatoes and eat them but not the meat .......sniffle sniffle whine. Took most of it over to my elderly neighbor and froze the rest....sigh maybe someday. Oh well it's a learning experience, it's a learning experience.... repeat after me it's a learning experience...lol.

I'm on mushies too. According to my list I can have any kind of egg except fried, cottage cheese, sugar free fruit mushed up, tuna, chicken, egg, seafood, turkey salad (tuna salad did not work out for me it was too gummy and got stuck) though seafood salad was ok. I can have lean lunch meat, refried beans, boiled soft meat, mashed potatoes, soft veggies, sugar free jello and pudding and sugar free popsicles. I think something like corned beef would have to be cooked really well and cut up fine as it's a kind of stringy meet. I made chili the other day and had no problem with it though I made sure the beans were really tender and mashed most of them. Hope this helps ya out. Good luck.
