Fiddleman 4,376 Posted May 6, 2013 Ok all you post op closet coffee drinkers (myself included): you loved coffee as a pre op and you still love it as a post op. There is no shame in declaring your love of the bean. After a largely successful drink poll thread this last week ( still active), I think a 2nd slightly less controversial poll is in order. What are your favorite ways to drink your daily or weekly coffee? How often do you like to have coffee? I will go first. At 10 months post op, there are a few ways I like to drink coffee: Daily: 1 cup of standard coffee with a tbsp of coconut Creamer and two Splenda or 1 Cappuccino with NF frothed milk and 2 Splenda. Made with my nifty SB verismo machine. Weekly: 1 grande NF latte with SF hazelnut from Starbucks or 1 Grande NF Mocha with SF raspberry (not at Starbucks as they do not carry SF raspberry ) Hot day (today!!): 24 oz NF iced mocha with SF raspberry. Ice takes up space so it is really about 16 oz coffee. I drink coffee because of the flavor and the "pick me up." I started drinking Cappuccino size coffee at 2 months. It was really not until month 6 when I started to drink standard grande size. What about you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted May 6, 2013 Cafe bustello. Cafe con leche with 2 teaspoons of sugar about 5-9 times a day oh and only whole milk! I usually mix in a scoop of Isopure Dutch Choc in my first and fourth cup' date=' gotta get my Protein in!![/quote'] Very good idea to mix in the Protein, especially since it is chocolate flavor. Maybe mixing in the Syntrax chocolate truffle or vanilla bean would be good with the coffee. However, I tend to think 1 scoop would make a cup of coffee too thick. Not sure. I will just have to try that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are super convenient to order when on a long drive as there are more McD then SB it seems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted May 6, 2013 Try WaWa coffee when you are on the go. They have SF, too. Coffee is better and much cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have never heard of it here in WA. Edit: looked them up and see they are primarily east coast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
