1 thing to remember about regular coffee is that it does the hydrate you. You should really speak to your doctor about whether they want you to have coffee or not. Post op I am allowed coffee but try to limit it to 1 cup of regular coffee a day and then switch to decaff. I've also read that you should drink at the equivalent of I glass of ice Water for each cup of cafe Coffee that you drink. Also if you're going to drink coffee it should just be with non sugar sweeteners or Black. Coffee with cream and sugar add the calories big time!

My dietitian is against all coffee products and my surgeon doesn't care. So, I'm now drinking 1 cup in the morning.

I stopped drinking my morning coffee while on the pre op and post op liquid diets. coffee is a known stomach irritant, and I really wanted to avoid any possible complications with the band surgery and getting off to a positive start with my new life.

My surgeon advises avoiding drinking all coffee except Decaf, which to me tastes horrible. About 2 months post op, I did resume enjoying my daily glass of iced coffee in the morning. I use a dark chocolate Stevia for sweetener, and still add a splash of real half 'n half. The amount of calories it adds is minimal, and realistically we do need some fat in our diet.

I limit myself to the one glass in the morning, and the rest of the day/evening the only liquids I have are Water.

I'm almost three weeks post op. I haven't had coffee for five weeks. Is anyone drinking caffeinated coffee? I thought we couldn't drink caffeinated while healing?? I'm ready to start drinking again if I can!!!!

Also,One thing I notice a lot on here, I see so much of restrictions on limiting are self to past endulgements...such as not putting cream or sugar in are coffee anymore... What's wrong with putting cream in are coffee , or one sugar? I understand we are watching calories/ sugars ect but I didn't get obese from cream and one sugar in my coffee, I feel if I want cream in my coffee and that's how I enjoy it, then that's how I will drink it. I don't think twenty calories of cream is going to set me off from the day due to one cup of coffee.....I mean, am I wrong thinking like this? I got banded for a life style change, to obtain satiety after consuming smaller amounts, not to restrict myself from normal ways of eating /drinking such as having cream in my coffee like millions of others in the morning!!

I have a starbucks coffee about three to four times a week, non-fat no flavor Decaf. I also drink about two cups of coffee a day (black). It has not hurt me, I gave up soda's but will not give up my coffee. Hugs

I do 2 cups of regular coffee a day and I still do Creamer but I did switch to sugar free (powdered has more flavor) and use stevia (but have always used this). So not really stopping what I used to do, just being smarter about it, like I actually measure how much creamer I'm using and pay attention versus before when I just used the fat free (high carb) and just poured away.
