Most days I drink decaf. But maybe once a week I'll splurge for regular

You need to seek help in the purging. This could cause permanent damage or death to you. One step at a time. You can do this-

I tried a regular and it felt like it was burning my pouch so I have steered clear since. I can drink Diet Dr Pepper though with no issues and I don't buy the decaf... I guess I should switch to decaf on that though. I was never a big coffee drinker anyway though.

Over here, we're not told to avoid coffee at all! In fact it's on our diet sheets :-)

I've been drinking decaf for over two years now. Keurig K-cups are the best thing to hit coffee ever. The transition from caf to decaf was painless.

I am in the u.s. and was told caffeine was fine too. No soda but coffee is fine.

They told me no caffeinated coffee for first 6 months... Reason given was that it can cause it make dehydration worse. I don't have it every day but occasional I will have a coffee and I don't feel guilty!

I did decaf for the first couple months but now I'm back to regular. I drink a cup a day.

I switch back and fourth depending on if I need a buzz or not. Haha I must say, the K-cup decaf coffee is delicious! No difference in taste at all.

I'm not condoning my actions but I drink 80-100oz of coffee a day and 60-80oz of water , I only eat dinner (haven't had an apatite since RNY 8/24/09)

I drink a cup of regular every morning. That is the only caffeine I do.

I switched to decaf prior to surgery, actually because of other medical problems caused by caffinated coffee (irregular heart beats). I actually have a Kurig and use K-cups with my own decaf (too cheap to buy the pods), but also add vanilla protein or chocolate protein to start my day with along with jump starting my metabolism. Once in awhile I'll get a decaf, non-fat venti latte at Starbucks, which has protein also, so MyFitnessPal tells me. Plus my pouch likes something warm the first thing in the morning. Doesn't care too much for something cold.

I too switched to decaf before surgery. Took a long break from coffee after my surgery and juuust recently have I gone back to my daily cup of decaf coffee.

Keeps things going smoothly.

Hon, I'm just really concerned about your eating problems. Please get help...
