Bands And Ice Coffee!!!



Recommended Posts

I was a big ice coffee drinker before my band. I have been coffee free for almost 4weeks now but wanted one real bad yesterday but fought the urge!! How do I change my ice coffee to a healthier one for me so I can join my girlfriends on a Sunday at Starbucks.

Have it made with low fat milk and Decaf, otherwise if its only once in a while enjoy it how you like it and count it into your daily allowance.

I agree.... they can be loaded with calories but have it low fat or have a small one but don't make it a habit, and include it in your daily calories.

Could be a slippery slope???

I make my own too...otherwise...do a small, lowfat etc and enjoy your time with your friends. Sip to make it last and log it with your calories. You will be fine. Moderation is the key :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
