I really really enjoy my 1 cup of tea or 1 cup of coffee in the a.m. with caffeine. I usually don't eat breakfast, just the tea or coffee. Is anyone else still drinking 1 cup of caffeine in the a.m. I know they say no caffeine, so I was wondering. Thanks!

My doctor said coffee was fine, in fact they served it to me in the hospital!

I do occasionally. I love my Chocolate Coffee by Folgers. I enjoy the aroma in the house too. :biggrin1:

I still do, afraid I'd die without it. Sugar-free for me.

With caffeine???? Cool!

I drink coffee, and more than one in the morning. My doctor never said no caffeine.

I drink coffee all day. Real coffee. I just make sure I have no fat milk.

Try and do a little breakfast though, it will start up your metabolism HOURS earlier than usual and speed up the weight loss.

Nobody said no caffeine to me and I still have 2 cups one after the other in the morning.

I was never told no caffeine. I drink unsweet tea all day. I would hate to go without it.

Me too, coffee with caffeine in the the morning, one cup early afternoon, and decaf while I'm watching TV at night. Nobody told me caffeine was out, and I was also served coffee in the hospital! I don't see why we would need to change something like this for the sake of the band?

Deana.

Most of what I've read says no caffeine for a few weeks while you are healing from your surgery, but I dont know many people who actually abstain from it....it's such an addiction. I've never been a coffee drinker but since I've discovered using protein powders in it, I enjoy it a lot....it's like a great sweet treat in the mornings. (coffee plus a scoop of vanilla/cinnamon protein, or a scoop of cappacino protein, or scoop of chocolate protein.....etc).

I will say I cut down a LOT prior to surgery and put myself mainly on decaf becuase I suspected I wouldnt have the stomach capacity for coffee afterwards and I was right. Coffee filled me up and meant I couldnt fit in more nutritious liquids.

I didnt want to ahve to deal with caffeine withdrawal whilst I was recovering, so cut down gradually over months.

But I"m back to my regular consumption now, I love my coffee.

I couldnt imagine NOT having my moning coffee (speaking of which, let me grab a sip). Right after surgery I didnt have the taste for it. And it seems like I had to slowly introduce it back into my morning routine. 2 years later and everything is fine. 3-4 cups a morning, and some days an ice-coffee later in the day.

Good luck - and remember, if you cant tolerate it NOW, wait a couple of weeks and try again.

I have Coffee at least once or twice a day..And water in between..I was never told no coffee..Just no Soda..i would never give up my Cup of Joe LOL

Well, I am so happy to hear this. I was under the impression no caffeine, forevah! What was I thinking????
