Re: I have a Question about Coffee

[Guest guest]

I don't know why you are craving it. I have always been a coffee lover and

now I just drink decaf because it works the best with me and I have also

learned that the caffeine will dehydrate you as well.

I have a Question about Coffee

I had my surgery in April, 2004. I was not a big coffee drinker prior

to the surgery, although, I drank Cappucino and French Vanilla Coffee

as a treat (Like 3-4 times a month). But since about a year after my

surgery I am finding that I am loving coffee. My best friend had the

surgery a year prior to mine and is having the same issue. Matter of

fact her addiction is a bit more intense. I was just wondering if

there was any information behind why we are craving coffee. We have

found that others in the support group at the hospital are frequent

coffe drinkers. We understand that coffee is not good for the staples

in our stomachs which is why we are very concerned. Can someone help

us?

Thanks,

Steph

I love chilled doubble espresso with cream in the afternoon. I will clean the

house like mad woman. Fun stuff. Pre surgery I never drank coffee. But now I

buy it by the case.

Weird. I'm about 10 months out and I like coffee but I can take it or

leave it. I might have a non-fat latte once a month. Maybe it's the

bitter taste buds. They and the sweet ones are the most intense I

think. I would think you could get some other bitter alternatives from

food that doesn't have calories or caffiene. At the least you could

drink decaf like I do.

I haven't heard that coffee isn't good for staples. I was under the

impression, too, that my surgeon performs some sort of fusion of the

pouch so as not to have to use staples and have the potential issues

with them. I'll check on that though.

Ya know...I was never a coffee drinker before surgery. I had a cup of

coffee Sunday night on the way to GA to try to stay awake. Ever since

then I've been craving it. The caffeine didn't affect me. I've just

been craving the taste!

mostly decaf,, however, I still drink regular coffee.

YES I crave it now more than ever before..... but I

As I read your post I almost spit out my French Vanilla Cappucino in

laughter....lol. That is just how I feel these days. But I am

cutting back. I am just baffled that I was not a coffee lover until

after the surgery. I am going to do more research in this because I

know it is not just about food addiction. It has to do with the

coffee itself. Thanks to everyone for sharing.

It would? Why? I would think some counseling might be in order to treat

any addiction and that as part of the therapy you'd receive some advice

towards not migrating to other addictions.

I don't buy the mindset that working on lessening an addiction, to food

or anything else, automatically makes one susceptible to another

addiction. I'd like to see some studies that refute that.

You definitely have a point well taken there, and I think you are correct.
