Just wondering if anyone else had difficulty cutting out coffee pre and post?

didn't, haven't, won't. Take my food away, take away my booze and beers, but caffeine, sorry ain't happening. My surgeon signed off when he saw that look in my eye that pretty much said...don't even try to go there.

Well.....thanks! Lol. Because I do feel THE SAME WAY. Especially today being my first day of liquids (pre op) and all of a sudden I'm just like so why did they even tell me I couldn't have coffee??

My dr. said de- caff, but I haven't drank it yet.

difficulty cutting out coffee

the one thing we all have in common is that we are all different -

check with your dr/nut - some drnut says no coffee at ALL (OMG)

others say 1 cup - others might say????

maybe decaf????

i can have one cup a day - lluv it

do what ever your NUT tells you (regarding anything)

good luck

edit - John - too funny

My Dr. said he does not like coffee because of the reflux it may cause. Told me to try and if no issues, then it was fine. I have no issues with it but am not a big coffee drinker - about 2 cups in one week.

I drank de-caf w/ splenda and fat free sugar free creamer pre-op. I waited till about 2 months post op, and was cleared for all foods, and my doc ok'd regular coffee. I drink a 16 oz cup w/ splenda almost every day.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I've been told no caffeine, no coffee-- but it has been a struggle. Kind of like what was said before, for everything that I'm not consuming, I'd like to be able to have a cup of regular coffee.

i never stopped drinking coffee. I count the calories and the carbs of the creamer I use because I don't like it black but other than that I have continued on with my little habit.

We're you ever told to stop? Because i was and I guess I have just been trying to follow things as best as I can-- but letting the coffee go doesn't seem to be happening. I guess I also just wanted to be sure that it won't have an adverse effect if I don't stop completely.

I mix my vanilla protein powder in my coffee in the morning . I love it tastes like a latte to me I also add some Splenda! Give it a try, my nut was fine with it !

Same here...cant stand the taste now but i just keep trying! I make a kcup of a great brand and have a sip or two and then it goes down the drain.

Isn't that weird! My tastes are pretty much the same but coffee is different I drank it everyday BLACK and loved it!

I did cut it out the first few months.. But now I mix decaf and regular Beans 50/50

But I have to add milk and sweetener to it now to taste good! O_o

Do you like adding the creamers like coffee mate? There are so many awesome flavors to choose from and having 1 tbsp is going to be ok calorie wise (I think). This has been my daily treat since month 1. Coconut is my favorite flavor, but there are also 1000 other flavors. Light soy milk and nonfat milk is also good to froth into a Cappuccino or latte. I do not know how I could ever drink the coffee without creamer and Splenda.
