I was banded on October 24th and am on the second day of phase 1 -Protein shakes and Water. This phase lasts for 2 weeks. aargh! I will be so done with Protein shakes by the end of the second week. I am dying for a cup of coffee...badly. Is anyone else out there needing some Joe!!!

I can't believe you can't have coffee. I had and have coffee everyday.

I was banded on 10/25 and will be on the liquid/protein post-op diet for three weeks. I can have decaf coffee with fat free milk, please check with your doctor.

Hang in there, its only a few weeks out of the rest of your new life.

the doctor wants us on Water and Protein shakes only for the first 2 weeks, then the mushy food stage.

I may have to cheat and have some coffee, tea is not cutting it in the morning!

I know that two weeks is not a long time when you look at the scope of things. I think that my problem is that today was my first day back at work and Middle school kids are hard to deal with when you have no caffine. I will hold out though!!
