Coffee talk

I've heard mixed opinions on coffee. Of course, the nut tells us not to have any at all but I've also read some can tolerate a cup a day. Any thoughts?

Thanks everyone for the input. Good to hear because I honestly don't think I could live without coffee!

I did not drink coffee or tea for 5 months after surgery, we were told never to drink anything caffeinated. But after 5 months I began drinking 1/2 Caf, and love it! I can only drink 1 cup, 2 gives me the jitters!!! You just have to listen to your body. It takes time to know how things work with our sleeves. It's been 1 year for me now. There are still things that don't agree with me, mainly red meat, rice, fried foods, so I stay from them. But my one cup of 1/2 Caf in the morning and one cup in mid afternoon, if need a pick up or something to warm me up works great for me!!

I quit coffee after surgery and didn't have any for a few weeks. Then I drank decaf for about a week, then half caf for about two weeks. After that I allowed myself one cup each morning. Now I have 1-2 cups each morning. On Saturday and Sunday mornings I probably drink 4-5 cups. It does not stimulate my hunger. In fact, quite the opposite. Coffee is acidic, so it may "feel" like hunger. Taking a PPI moderates this for me. I have found that there are some coffee blends that are extremely acidic and I try to avoid those. I have a Keurig at home and a small one at work.
