I dont know about the sleeve, but I had RNY and coffee ws fine for me. Maybe there is something abot the sleeve that is different. Id ask your Dr.
Coffee is generaly a NO No because its a diurtetic and stimulates appetite ! It also robs the body of B vitamins ,
I think your ok if you indulge in a cup a day but try to limit it . Also watch what you put in that coffee - that can really add up in calories .. Nothing like a 200 calorie cup of starbucks ...
Better to eat your good calories and fill up your pouch than to drink them .
I allow my clients to have coffee. Unless, they drink it all day long and it's the only fluid they consume. But if you're drinking water or other calorie-free beverages - I would allow you to have 1-2 cups per day -- of course, don't put sugar in it and if you like coffee creamer, try to do the sugar-free or low sugar creams -- I would not recommend adding too much to your coffee - you don't want it to become a 200-300 calorie beverage. Make sense?
