I am having to take a break in my exercise for the next few weeks due to surgeries. My surgery is being blogged about on my other blog http://btrbb.blogspot.com/2010/11/sacral-nerve-stimulation-interstim.html this link is the first post about it.
Anyway, I am still trying to eat healthy and limit my amounts since I will be burning a lot less energy but it is hard. Has anyone experienced excess hunger after going under anesthesia? For some reason, since late last night (I just had the surgery yesterday) I am starving! I want to eat everything! I am trying not to but my stomach keeps growling at me and it makes me restless. Glad I only have healthy food in the house or I would be in big trouble.
OK now to my point, coffee or no coffee, that is the question? I think I need to give it up. For one it is a diuretic and it makes me pee all the time and it is frustrating. I am not addicted to it, I just like the taste. I can go, and have, for days not drinking it and I don’t withdrawal so why do I drink it? I think I need to stop drinking it, it really is not that great for you anyway.
I have about half a small carton of Folgers left and I think I will finish it and be done. Maybe 5-6 days worth. I don’t think I am going to buy anymore and get rid of the coffee pot and see where that takes me. Should take me to somewhere good!
I would say no on dropping coffee. Coffee has been shown to provide several health benefits and for one dropping weight, it does help with metabolism. Try a little cinnemon in it as it helps with your insulin resistance.
I do have to say though.. Folgers? Can I suggest a high quality coffee that is roasted to order? Folgers is a robusto bean which is not that good. Find a good bean and you won't need cream or sugar in it.
Well I did not do it. I don't do anything else bad for me…sesriously. I don't drink (maybe 1-2 a month max) and don't smoke. I eat healthy and exercise and only drink 2 cups a day so I decided I could dabble in a little plessure every morning with my coffee.
I do not drink coffee any other time of day, it is jsut too much acid and a diuretic I don't need later in the day.
so 2 cups it is in the morning!
I sure needed my coffee after surgery. My son once said that I drink so much coffee that if I am cut I would bleed French Roast! I hook the IV up to the coffee maker in the morning & am ready to go. I was never very hungry after surgery. The drugs they give you don't set too well with me & I get sick to my stomach if I eat for like the next three days. (that is not fun after surgery to be sure) Good luck
