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. :)

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) :)

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.

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!

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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
