Can anyone tell me if I can have regular coffee and regular sugar in it? I've been sticking to a very low carb low sugar diet and in the mornings I feel like I need a pick me up. Can I have my regular coffee in the morning as long as I count it in my calories?

I never ever received any restriction toward coffee or thee (caffeinated), I have started drinking thee 4 days post-op and I have started drinking coffee one month after (just because it took me long at first and cold coffee tastes like sh*t).

I don't know about sugar though since I like my coffee black... Maybe stevia?

I just think that if you drink caffeinated coffee or thee be sure to drink enough Water

I started drinking coffee at 2 weeks out, but 1 cup a day instead of my previous 6+ cups per day. Now 5 weeks out I am up to 2 cups per day, but will try to hold it there. Coffee gets to be counterproductive when you drink too much of it. And for me, I use Splenda and Land o' Lakes non-fat creamer with it.

I just had my first nutritionist appt this week and asked about caffeine. She said no caffeine at all. It interferes with absorption of nutrients such as Calcium and Iron. It can also cause ulcers, dehydration and in some cases increase hunger. I'm going to avoid it as much as possible. I'd rather not take any chances especially with nutrient absorption - one of my fears of having the surgery is the hair loss.
