coffee drinkers?

[NtvTxn 1,262]

coffee doesn't dehydrate you. This is a common myth. In fact, the mayo Clinic says it hydrates you just as well as Water.< /p>

At my three month follow up visit, I was struggling with water and was worried that I'd end up dehydrated. The nurse told me to DRINK liquids, coffee, tea, water, nothing sugary. From then on I did fine. I have my coffee in the morning, two or three cups, follow up with water and lemon and iced tea. I'll usually make a small pot of coffee in the afternoon and drink two cups.....iced tea or water and lemon the rest of the day. That visit saved me, I'm sure of it!!!!! I never believe it would dehydrate me or stimulate my appetite, it totally kills mine!

Great news! I have also heard that dehydration due to coffee is a myth. I drink lots of coffee and I feel great so I will just keep on doing what I´m already doing.

Yes, agree wholeheartedly with using nestles. I like to put the coconut creamer in my coffee every morning. I do not really succinctly measure, it is more of an eyeballing, timing sort of thing. I would say it is about 2 tbsp. it sure makes a big difference to be able to enjoy coffee every day with creamer. On the weekend, I usually make a point of buying 1-2 16 oz SF mochas with NF milk. Keeps me perky! As for dehydration from coffee, I am not sure it happens. Regardless, I drink 32-64 oz every morning before coffee and then the same after coffee before lunch. I do not think I would be getting dehydrated with that amount of liquids before and after.

I'm planning on drinking coffee after I have my sleeve (on Tuesday...eeep!). My surgeon said Decaf is ok right away, and try to wait 3 months on the caffeinated stuff, along with alcohol and carbonated beverages. I can't wait to have my beloved nonfat Cappuccino with breakfast again...got hooked on them in Rome two years back. Being in the Seattle area, I think there would be an uproar if a surgeon suggested we ban coffee from our diet entirely...he'd/she'd probably go out of business! That being said, if it were essential to maintain your sleeve health, I don't think they would hesitate to make coffee restriction mandatory. I think the key is everything moderation, take it easy and listen to your sleeve!

As I said before, there is no reason to ban coffee at all. My surgeions and my nutritionsit said it´s ok with coffee at all times, the only thing was that you should not add sugar to your coffee.

Oh man, it is hot out this morning at 9 am. 84 degrees F. So I drove down to my favorite barista stand in the area and ordered a 24 oz iced SF mocha with NF and white coffee Beans. It hit the spot and got me all perky too!! I am also being Careful to drink a lot of Water today. Sitting in my chair can feel the sweat dribbling down my chest at 60 % humid and 85 degrees f. I mean, damn, the sweat is dripping off my body just sitting here. I am sure it is hotter where you at, but herein Seattle this is hot.

I'm a coffee fanatic. My hobby is roasting coffee and building coffee roasting machines as well as modifying (improving) coffee equipment (espresso machines and grinders).

I'm pre-op and just attended my first nutritionist session. She said I could drink coffee afterward but I'll check with my surgeon. That would really suck if I could no longer drink coffee. I'd have to find a new hobby and my friends and family would miss their supply of my freshly roasted coffee.

I'm calling my doctor tommorrow ...

It seems like American doctors don´t want you to drink coffee but European doctors sais it´s ok. It´s the same surgery? I´m six weeks post op and I haven´t had any problems at all. They have told me to use lactouse free milk and to stay away from sodas and other sparkling drinks. In Sweden where I live, Decaf is not popular at all. Either you have coffe or you don´t, there is no decaf option.
