14 months out and i have finally dumped

Ok maybe i should not be so excited, but today i finally dumped. And let me tell ya, i don't think i will eat for days. I drank a small cup of coffee for the first time and it went throu me like a train!!!!!!! Now i am just sipping ice water, because everything else scares me.

funny you should mention that... coffee is just about the only thing that doesn't agree with me. i used to really like coffee, now i don't see myself EVER having another sip! deb open RNY 3/5/04 -154

Coffee huh? Did you get really sick or did you have the trots? Might just be a case of caffeine that your body isn't used to- maybe??? One could always hope....I'd hate to think of life without coffee! Dina

Tanya, I only wish I would dump on coffee, I never drank the stuff till I was about 8 months out, now I drink about 4 - 6 cups a day. Hooked for sure. Most of it's decaf, but still way too much coffee & not enough water. So be thankful you don't want to get started on it. MY ONLY ADDICTION IS COFFEE & I figure since I gave up diet soda for life, it could be worse things to be addicted to. If you feel that it really was the coffee, don't get started on it, you will be much better off. I no some of you out there drink soda, but I won't even go with the carbonated beverages. I am having enough trouble losing the last 50 lbs. sure don't want to add to the problem of over eating by stretching that pouch. Marilyn, the Bearlady
