What to do

I say : DRINK A CUP OF COFFEE!! Why are you not having it? Are you giving it up cuz your doc says you can't have it? That's fine - I don't see where the problem is, but if you're following dr's instructions, so be it. But if you're giving it up cuz you don't think it's good for your band - hooey. A cup or 2 of coffee isn't going to hurt it. Now what hurts your weight loss is to get one of the fancy cappucino drinks at the coffee house everyday. Those have sometimes 500 calories in them.

I've been drinking coffee since I was on the liquid diet 2 1/2 yrs ago. It actualy heps my band lossen a little so I can eat Breakfast. Good luck!

Oh im not drinking it cause i hate black coffee i was told no milk or sugar.. But im about to make a cup and trying to take a few sips

I use the sugar free flavored creamers. They're about 10 calories per tbs. If I go to Dutch Brothers or Starbucks, I get a skinny latte (made with Splenda and non fat milk). I can't stand black coffee either. You have to work your favorite foods into your daily diet otherwise you'll start feeling ripped off and go overboard. Are you on Clear liquids, is this why s/he said no milk or sugar?

Yes was just banded yesterday. And the pain killers are not helping the headache..

I drink black coffee every day multiple cups

I miss coffee. My reflux prevents me from enjoying a cup in the morning now.

I am guessing you are on clear liquids right now. Stick to your surgeons diet. Don't put anything in your new tummy that will make it churn to digest. Let it heal. Do you like hot tea? It has caffeine and there are several flavored teas that you might like in the meantime.

I like tea going to try that ty
