Will I Ever Enjoy Another Latt Again?



Recommended Posts

I am wondering if after my surgery if I will ever be able to enjoy my 12 oz. sugar-free caramel latte w/ 1% milk again or should I get myself used to the idea of staying away from coffee and milk for good? I am okay with wheat and other carbs and even sugar, but my latte will be oh so hard!

Go Decaf during your full liquid phase and it's fine.

I have 5 cups of regular coffee a day! and lattes and sugar free coffee drinks! and no problem!

You do know that doing this puts your tummy at high risk for ulcers. Ulcers in a sleeve means you can lose your stomach.....

yes! I always drank coffee every morning, and afternoon, and my surgeon said that during endoscopies my tummy looked amazingly healthy, so he told me it was ok! :s

I've been drinking 12oz Decaf soy lattes, about once a week. I don't use flavor or sweetners, but it still feels like a teat (with a bit of Protein & Calcium to boot)!

my surgeon & nut both said one black cup a day isnt too bad- you may feel too jittery for much more.

They also really press that we should try to limit to 2-3 week if you are doing lattes, iced coffee, etc (even FF, skinny, SF, etc because of the carbs).

Try (really try) to make Click Protein powder work for you- if not, just offset your latte intake with extra work outs!

I have seen several posts from coffee lovers making iced coffee and latt's with Protein Powder and coffee. Do a quick search...maybe you will find something you like.

      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.
