Best coffee drink poll



Recommended Posts

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?

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, gotta get my Protein in!!

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! :)

They sure do! The McD cafe coffee drinks are pretty good and gaining market share. They are super convenient to order when on a long drive as there are more McD then SB it seems.

Is WaWa coffee a regional store? I have never heard of it here in WA.

Edit: looked them up and see they are primarily east coast.

Black/Americano with one of the gazillion sf Torani syrups flavors ... Or a mixture of a couple flavors. Nothing else. No carbs and very few calories.

I love the iced coffee with SF vanilla from MC Donalds, too. I add my Muscle Milk to it and have half of it for breakfast and the other half as a snack.< /p>

      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.
