City: Tacoma State: WA | coffee drinkers?
I looooove love love coffee.... and I was told no more coffee or tea after the band. Is this just because of the caffeine? I'm getting banded in two days and I'm in the mourning stages... missing all of my favorite treats... like my coffee. what do you all do???

I was allowed coffee after the fluid stage. I only have one a day... more than enough for me.

I would rip heads off without coffee. I still drink it by the bucket.

HI All........
Thru it all I have kept my coffee. 2 cups in the morn and 2 in the eve w/ splenda and small amount of powder cream. My doctor said it was not a problem, just limit the creamer.

You just have to be careful how you define "coffee"
Black, creamer and spenda? No problem
Starbucks grande mocha frap with whip? That's a ton of liquid calories that most people don't track.

No problem with black coffee for me. I didn't care for it the first several weeks postOp, relying on herbal tea. The time came when my taste for it returned, and I use it nearly daily without any problem.

I love my green tea. I have about 4-5 a day. Does anyone else hear good things about green tea and its benefits?

I drink green tea as well. I only drink 1 cup a day though. It can help move the bowels... do you find that?

I drink a lot of tea (w/sweet-n-low), and an occasional coffee w/ creamer & sweet-n-low.
Dehydration thing, suppose to drink 2 glasses of water for every cup of coffee or tea.

I asked the lap band nutritionist and she said coffee was fine, just don't overdo it with cream and sugar. I use creamer and splenda. I used to drink three or four cups in the morning, and now I can barely get two down, so you might find your appetite for it decreasing after your surgery. Of course, I'm only 7 weeks past surgery, so I can't make any long term statements.

I like Green tea it helps me go "P". Well I guess that is why you need to replenish that with 2 glasses of water. lol

There is no reason a bandster can't drink coffee. That is mis-information, plain and simple.
If your doc recommends avoiding it for general health purposes (or for caloric intake control due to creamer, etc.), I guess that's one thing, but to tie it to a band-specific issue is incorrect.
Woohoo! That must make you one happy camper!

When I had my nutrition evaluation she said no more caffeinated coffee because it's a diuretic. But after reading what everyone else is saying I think I'll stick with the good old caffeine kind!
