After a few weeks I went back to regular coffee and can drink it no problem. Later you can also try coffee flavored Protein Drinks, I know Click has a line and also Big Train, you can find both on line.

Have you tried the Syntrax Matrix Protein Shake in the Cappuccino flavor? Yummmmmm! I've never really liked hot coffee but I do like iced coffee. I make this with light vanilla soy milk and it is delicious!! (Seriously, it's probably better than an iced coffee from McDonalds.)

I drink Decaf. Sometimes I mix half folgers and starbucks together for stronger coffee. I also mix instant folgers decaf crystals in to my vanilla or chocolate Protein Shake. My program says no more caffeine, ever.

      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.
