Hi everyone,
I know caffeine counteract with BE herbs. But since I'm off SBS pills for a week, I started to drink coffee again (Umm...... smell good). And it seems like it hardly for me to start my day without a cup in the morning. SBS people said have to completely off coffee. Is there any way I can have my morning coffee (just one cup a day) and still can get my boobs grow (hopefully ).
Any suggestion? Thanks,
Tini-Tiny

I don't know, but I sure miss mine. I am drinking herbal tea, or Postum(fake grain coffee wanabe) but mornings are hard to face without my Joe. I buy flavored beans and grind them fresh every morning. It kills me to watch my dh drinking it and it smells sooooo good. I think even decaffeinated is probably not allowed because it has some caffeine too. Mega bust people say no coffee too. I am feeling like I am having a tiny bit of growth here so I am going to stick with it.

Ya'll, it really SUCKS not to have search on MSN...this lil' topics been visited and answered by Successful BEers a number of times over by Momi', not to mention others....BUT, we'll put it for the record here.
It's ok to drink coffee, soda, and other caffine containing things, so long as it's not done an hour within comsumption of pills...either before or after.
Momi' is an AVID Pepsi drinker, one of the bigger success stories on BEB, and she ALWAYS took pills on a schedule so she could have her 'fix'.
Anyways, we shouldn't have to suffer for much more for this NBE effort than a little extra pill swallowing...the rest, just be moderate, and enjoy life (like Pammy and Momi' say).

Hi TT and KathiO,
YES! You can have caffiene, well....even Fawn says it should be avoided. But...I would NOT have done BE if I could not have my Pepsi! Seriously...not kidding about that one either.
Just be wise about it. Wen gave you exactly what I did, no pop 1 hour before or after taking pills. And I was VERY true to that rule. Okay...don't laugh, but I would literally watch the clock. I planned out my pill taking around a pop schedule. If I knew I couldn't have pop cuz I would be driving the bus, then I would plan my pill popping during that time. That way I didn't miss it as much.
Please remember, Pammy and I for some unknown reason seem to be fast responders. But...Pammy would take her pills with her morning coffee. I would NOT recommend that, but I see on many of the commercial BE sites, that it is okay to drink caffiene, different time limits, but it's okay!
So...go for it! Have your java and enjoy it!

Hi Kathi and Tini
I followed SBS suggestion and stopped drinking coffee and soda. During that period of time I did not grow .
So after that I did what Momi does one hour before taking pills I had a cup of coffee.
Even now I have to have my one cup of coffee in the morning. But I did cut out soda and trying to cut out the decafe at night. Like you Kathi, we buy the flavored coffee and grined it in the morning.

I'll admit, I couldn't give up my coffee, but I did cut out all pop. The flavored kind hooks ya the worse, don't ya think?? I would take my pills while sipping a cup of joe, but I sipped very, very slowly, sometimes drinking one cup for an hour, so it wasn't like I was guzzling caffeine while taking them. Maybe it's the smell and I don't feel as awake unless I can smell it and sip on some, who knows. All I know is I didn't wanna give it up and if that meant not growing, so be it. Gotta live in the mean time, no? Perhaps cutting out the pop for me was enough of a reduction in the caffeine department that it allowed me to grow. That's a thought.
I say if ya can't cut it out completely or feel ya can't function without it, try it. If ya still see no results after a while then there's an idea of what to work on, eh?

Wow, it's nice to know that I can drink coffee one hour before or after taking the pills Live in the hometown of Starbucks, expresso stands are at every cornor. It's hard to give up my morning cup, but I did cut off the evening one.
Thank you all and here to the coffee lover.

I drink tea every morning, which I know has caffiene in it too... I try to wait at least an hour but it is not always possible I am wondering, though, other than caffiene, is there anything else in tea that can have an effect on BE? Especially herbal teas, I wonder if there are some things that can cause problems. I used to be addicted to coffee but it's not as hard as it seems to quit, as long as you take it slow, and it's kind of nice to be able to live without it... especially since it can be so dehydrating and you save money if you can live without it too. That's just my thoughts on it. Remember that chocolate has caffiene in it too I could quit coffee for BE, but never chocolate!

myself have gone from a 32B to a 34C (bought my first C bra today in fact!!! OMG I am so excited I could pee *lol*).... Anyway my point is that you can still grow if you drink caffeine. I am ADDICTED to mountain dew - I drink it EVERY day and I still grew!!! I don't drink caffeine within the two hours before or after I take the pills though... so maybe that helps? Just my 2 cents!!!

lilsx1,
Congrats on your growth!!! I notice you increased in cup size as well as band size, so I was wondering if you had actual measurements (diameter for each breast or around the breasts/body). I get soooooo confused with all this measuring stuff and from what the charts tell you, it seems to me like if you have a larger band size, you need a larger cup size to be equivalent to the smaller band with the same cup size. Is this true ladies or am I way off base on that thinking, too?
How long did it take to get your growth? I take my caffiene every day, too, even though I know we are supposed to avoid it somewhat. I just can't give it up!
I hope you have continued success!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Lilsx!
What is your routine? I know you told us before I can't remember. (yep blamin' that fenugreek again! Dang flashbacks!)
Congratulations....keep up the GROWTH! Could not be happier for you! Keep us "abreast" of any further "developments".

I thought I was a 32B but I upped to a 34B when I realized that according to the measurement charts I was supposed to have a larger band size - I measure about 29" around for a band size and 33" for chest size. All of my 34B bras are tight and leave red marks and my nipples set just at the edge of the bra, so I wanted to try a bigger cup size. The C's feel just perfect. According to all the charts I am supposed to measure an A but OMG I can not even feel comfy in a B!!!
My routine keeps changing - I used Expansive according to directions and added extra fenugreek. I also was using hypnosis - I saw the most growth with this routine... now I am taking herbs since it was everyone's opinion that stronger doses of natural herbs were better: fenugreek, saw palmetto, wild yam, red clover, EPO and flax oil (no more than 2000mg per day) and haven't had any more growth so I am going to try quick bust because it has almost the same ingredients as the expansive but is a LOT cheaper through someone selling it on Ebay, and again adding hypnosis when I get those pills. So anyhoo I will keep in touch.

That's really weird, I measure 29 inches under my boobs and 32.5 across them and I just manage to fill a 34A... maybe we're using different tape measures. Marshall - yes, the bandwidth will affect your cup size. A 34B is the same breast size as a 36A, the only difference between these two sizes is a 2 inch larger ribcage diameter.

And you know what's even weirder than that? I measure 29 inches under my boobs and I'm 34 inches across them and I can barely fill a 34 A. If I breath out first, I'm 33 inches across.

Shape, density, bra manufacturer's all have something to do with it. I fit in most 34d, however, there are some I look like I am trying to wear my "mommies" bra.
That's my take on it! Any other thoughts?
