affect the band..or how?

I was told that new research proves it can't effect the band, however, it can stimulate your appetite.

Ahhhh...makes sense

Can have adverse effect on high blood pressure meds also.

I always thought caffeine was an appetite suppressor?

I should add that I know it can make sugars rise in diabetics. I have to limit my caffeine for that reason alone.

My dietitian says stop the coffee and my surgeon says it's okay.

So, I drink 1 cup in the morning.

I have not had any concerns with my coffee. I did give up all sodas which has not been as hard as I thought it would be, but leave my coffee alone LOL

LOL I so agree. I haven't had any carbonation in almost 10 months, I'll be damned if I'm giving up coffee too!

I had to retain one of my vices!!! Ain't giving up my java!

What about decaf then? Does it stimulate the appetite?

☕I like that! Every dietician, nutritionist, doctor is different. We all need to take care of ourselves and live life. Being a banister is a Life Choice, NOT a diet. That is why I got a band. I enjoy my life, food, smell the flowers, all in moderation.

Forgot to add...and drink my cup of decaf in the morning to loosen up my band, And it keeps me regular, which is important!

Lassie an Missy. Me too me too. No carbonation in almost 2years an dont even miss it. BUT coffee i would take it with an IV if i could

This is for tym4me....

Keep in mind that for every cup of caffeine you drink you have to drink double in water to stay hydrated. I never drank coffee, but was an iced tea freak! Now no soda and no iced tea, but I do drink an occasional hot decaf tea when I am cold.
