So I'm having the hardest time deciding this ...

All I want is a cup of coffee. My doctors office told me it increases the risk of stomach cancer to have caffeine. But I know SO many banders that drink coffee ! Tomorrow I have to work from 7:30am to 10pm and I don't know how ill survive. Can 1 cup really hurt ? I was banded sept 6th so it's a little over 2 weeks. What do you guys think? Any coffee drinkers out there ?

I have never heard that caffeine causes stomach cancer. Heck, most doctors live on coffee.

I drink at least 1-2 coffees a day, btw.

Thank you mis !!! I'm glad you responded you're such an inspiration just wanted to let you know.

I'll be having coffee tomorrow lol

One of the first things I asked my Surgeon was whether I could have coffee.. He said absolutley .. No problem .. Never heard that coffee causes stomach cancer... I had my surgery in Jan. have not missed a day without coffee...

frankly, what doesnt cause cancer???

drink coffee every day (straight up black)

no issues with me...my dr said it was okay and i never looked back...i say drink and enjoy it..

Stomach cancer? I thought it was good for you. I was a coffee addict, have cut down to just the weekends over the last month. This was mostly because I can't drink it without french vanilla creamer. I am now getting used to the sugar free version.

I work with a bunch of doctors .... That doesn't seem to stop them from drinking it. I've never hear of coffee causing cancer, just take anything in moderation. Just remember caffeine dehydrates you, so drink your water

Thank you all for your input ! I started drinking coffee again but cut it from 48oz a day ( before my band ) to about 20oz. I quit for a month and it was the hardest thing. Thank you all again ! It got me through my 15 hour work day lol
