What Are My Fellow Bandsters Drinking In The Morning



Recommended Posts

I'm was a huge coffee drinker with reg flavored Creamer. Since being banded I've switched to Decaf but haven't had much coffee I miss it but I don't feel like I enjoy it as much as I use to. I've tried to drink out with sf creamer but it's not the same. Are my diehard coffee drinkers drinking something else that is just as satisfying? do you allow yourself your reg coffee with your reg cream?

I drink coffee just like I used to. I stick to lower calorie versions of things I like. At home I make a pitcher of coffee with all the added stuff (sweetener, creamer) and stick it in the fridge. Since I like iced coffee, the cold coffee is ready to go for the week. If I need to make more, I do. I have 1 coffee a day and try to stick to Water as much as possible. It doesn't always work.

I also like energy drinks. I've found that the Monster Rehab ones are non-carbonated and have around 10 cals/serving. I keep drink mix packets with me to jazz up my water so I don't get bored. Just some ideas. Making your stuff at home is cheaper and you know EXACTLY what's going in it.

1 scoop of vanilla Unjry to my black coffee takes the place of the cream and sugar, GOOD STUFF, I get my protien, warms up my band so lunch goes through a little easier, a little pick me up and helps things move through the system a little faster WIN WIN

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
