I tried cold turkey to give up coffee! Caffeine withdrawals were horrible! Not to mention at work i park in the same parking lot where there is a Dunkin Donuts. Drank it fAithfully for 3 yrs! Is there any way for me to continue drinking my morning coffee?! My job depends in it!!! Lol

I was a coffee drinker prior to surgery and still am after surgery. I was banded 13 months ago and I am down 100 lbs. On the way home from the hospital I stopped to get some coffee. I can't imagine life without coffee.

Ha!! Thanks Bronwen!! This Is music to my ears! :-) how do you have ur coffee? Flavored? Cream? Splenda? :-)

i drink a coffee each and every morning

half reg and half decaf

(i am a weirdo as i drink mine black)

i highly doubt (but could be wrong as i am not a doctor) that

a cup or two of coffee would hurt you.

ps-got a coffee 3 days after surgery (didnt drink it all but had alittle)

My doctor said it was fine to have 2 cups a day. I drink it w/splenda and a spash of milk.

I feel a heavy load off my shoulders! I believe this would have been my biggest obstacle!!! Now, I feel i can conquer the world!!!!:) thanks!!!

I was never told not to drink coffee

I had my mother bring me a cup of coffee to the hospital, and stopped on the way home for another. I have it with french vinalle creamer and splenda. I do add up the calories and add them to my daily count. I had surgery 2 years ago, and have lost 70 pounds so far.

Excellent!! Thanks again!! I look forward to my morning coffee!!

I sometimes add vanilla or chocolate protein powder to my coffee...tastes like one of those fancy coffee drinks!

I drink my coffee every day! dietician told me to use FF 1/2 &1/2 for creamer. I use Equal. Sometimes I like it black. I drink both decaf and regular, but mostly decaf. Every night I make coffee and pop the decantur in the fridge till the next day, when I make ICED coffee!

Dietician also told me if I'm missing my mochas THAT much, to: make how coffee, add cocoa in it while it's still hot and add your creamer. It's not awesome but serves the purpose well! I sweeten mine.

BTW, I suffer from OCD.

Obsessive Coffee Disorder!

*hot, not how coffee.

I drink a 16 oz cup of coffee with a scoop of protein powder for breakfast each morning. It's quite delicious.

Don't tell me I can't have my coffee.... I'm a real grizzle bear in a morning without it, just ask my hubby.

Splenda and a splash of milk for me. :-)

Oh that's a relief. That was on my next set of questions! I drive 15 km to work in the morning, if I tried that without caffeine it would be like trying to fly with one wing.

I was never told not to drink coffee

I was told to drink decaf only. I had already switched before surgery because of high blood pressure. I can't tell the difference and I am a gourmet coffee drinker. I buy all my coffee, naturally decaffinated without chemicals, from a local roaster, grind the beans just before brewing. Give up the caffeine, just like getting off sugar. Doing that gave he the worst headache I have ever had.
