Hello everyone I'm 11 days post-op(banded 1/16/09). I just started mushies on this past sat 1/24/09. I've always drank coffee about 2 cups a day. I stopped smoking 4 months pre-op it then went up to about 5-6 cups a day. One month pre-op I just stopped. I had some light craving but I was watching everything my fats,carbs,no sugar and working out and everything was all good. During my 2 week pre-op liquid diet and 1 week post-op liquid diet still good. I had my first mushed egg sat morning and went out for my mile walk and every house I walked by I could smell coffee so I walked on and just thought is was funny. Later that day I went into the local 7-11 to pay for gas and OH MY GOD!!!. I had to run out the store due the STRONG SMELL of COFFEE. Sunday I went for my walk and the same thing happend, the whole mile as I walked I couldn't stop thinking about the 7-11 smell. On Monday I walked at a later time not as early and I didn't smell anything but could no stop thinking about STARBUCHS COFFEE. I Just got back from my mile walk and it was all good until I opend the door to my house and my wife saying " oh baby I'm sorry LUA YA bye" as she walked by with a 12 ounce cup of fresh brewed Starbuchs Classic Roast and the smell in my house as strong as the 7-11. I going crazy right now but I'm holding out. I'm told by my Dr NO COFFEE! My question being only 11 days post-op and everything is going so well (lost 5 pounds). CAN I HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE? :thumbup:

PS: I need some help setting my personal info up!

I've been drinking coffee since day one!

All this coffee talk has me craving Starbucks!!!!:cursing:

I had never had coffee in my 42 years of life until about 2 weeks ago. It might sound wierd but I had BM problems every since I was banded. Since i started drinking coffee i havent had a problem with it. So i make sure i get in atleast 2 cups a day with my splenda. It does the job!
