I'm three weeks after banding. Has anyone had any problems drinking regular coffee? I Usually only drank a cup or two in the morning before surgery. I switched to decaf but would like to switch back? My doctors office suggested waiting three months? Please advise if anyone has had any issues.

i was no problem with regular coffee and have been drinking 1-2 cups daily since post-op day 2. deosn't bother me a bit.

Thanks the

coffee was on my list of Clear liquids that I could drink right away. They even gave it to me in the hospital (yes regular coffee).

Enjoy !!

I had coffee the day after surgery without any problems. The only thing I noticed was that my regular size cup (12 oz) filled me up. I used an eight ounce cup until yesterday (post-op day 9) and now tolerate the regular size. Enjoy YOUR coffee!

They served me coffee in the hospital! I drink it all the time.

I have never been told I couldn't drink COFFEE....However I was told to drop the regular sugar and creams in my coffee because of the extra fat and calories. I now only use Splenda and 2% milk in my coffee! I couldn't start my day with out coffee. It is what gets me going in the mornings!!!

A life without coffee would be no life at all! Caffeine is my drug of choice.

Cheers!

I gave up caffeine prior to surgery, and I do think no caffeine helps with dieting (no yo yo metabolism). That having been said, I lasted about a month and switched back to having AM coffee with no problems. I love it!

I have had coffee since day 2 of post op.

No problems. I use equal and fatfree half and half in mine.

Couldn't start the day without it

I was told no coffee, no caffeine! I guess it's a good thing I don't drink coffee.
