Coffee will not stop your weight loss, nor will it dehydrate you despite what many many people will state. A recent study was conducted and they found that normal coffee drinkers do not lose any additional fluids, and as a person with a hx of ulcers, my GI doc has no problem with me drinking coffee. Study can be found here: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118888724/abstract

I would ask your doctor. My doc says no caffeine, however others say their doc says it is ok. There are several studies out there, so don't just take the word of one study. Research it. I personally don't drink it because of the adverse effects it has on my system.

My doctor told me that I can have coffee just limit the amount of caffiene. I drink a small cup every two days.

I drink reg. coffee everyday since about a month after my RNY and I am 1.5 years out and lost 220 pounds. So I don't think it will hault your weight loss. Just don't put sugar in it. I use non- dairy cream and sugar free chocolate in mine..

I have reached my weight loss goal. I drink coffee every day. My dr just told me to make sure that I drink 64 oz of calorie free caffeen free liquids a day. I drink 3 - 5 cups of coffee a day. a "Vinte skinny vanillia Lattee" has 17g of proteing no fat and no sugar 160 calories. I count the calories to make sure that I am not consuming more than I am burning to stay on track.

Here's what our nut told us after a year. We can have one caffeine drink of coffee a day and one diet coke per day. That's it no more. Hope this helps.

Most doctors say no caffiene. I know lots of people who have had the surgery who drink a lot of regular coffee after six months to a year. I can not it makes my heart race if I do. Everyone is different so just take it easy and do decaf at least for the first year.
