Coffee Loosens The Band???



Recommended Posts

I have been banded for 5 months and recently gave up coffee and wine for lent, but I just read a post and it said that coffee loosens the band?? Is this true? I have 7cc's and I had good restriction at first but then it seems like I can eat more now. At the time, I was drinking coffee every morning. I would have about 3-4 cups with no food. Wondering minds want to know??

If coffee was loosening your band, and you gave it up, you should have more restriction then before. I have been told Hot Drinks loosen the band, but haven't found that to be the case for me. I think everyone is different. Since you have less restriction it could be you've lost weight and the band has loosened because you have lost fat around the stomach. You may want to make an appointment to meet with your doc. about a fill. Good luck!

I drink coffee every morning and I don't feel that it loosens my band. I still drink a Protein Shake afterwards for Breakfast because I'm just not hungry.

From my understanding it doesn't loosen band. My nutritionist shy me away from coffee and/or sweet tea because of the caffeine content. U will get dehydrated if u drink alot of it. I was told I can drink it but maybe Decaf if I'm gonna have alot of it. Sodas same thug because if caffeine content but also because of carbonation. I was told also if I drink it use sugar substitute. Your band loosens as you lose weight, which is why u need adjustments over time.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
