Coffee Cravings!



Recommended Posts

I have to admit I was a Starbucks junky especially this time of season with the pumpkin Spice latte!! My plan does not allow coffee until 6 weeks. I’m ½ week away from enjoying some coffee!!

Need to stop watching or hearing these commercials for pumpkin this, pumpkin that coffee!!

What's your favorite Caffeine drink?

Love me a skinny peppermint Mocha!

Now most every morning I make a 3 oz coffee and stick it in the freezer for an hour or so while I enjoy a hot coffee. Then I take about 4-6 oz skim milk, a heaping teaspoon of either sugarfree chocolate or vanilla pudding depending on the flavor I feel like that day and 3 ice cubes. Blend it. I add a scoop of same flavor Protein powder (I like unjury) then add the cold coffee and I have a delightful, Protein packed, yummy coffee treat!

I have this 6 of 7 mornings. I have grown weary of fruit smoothies.

I never drank as much coffee pre-surgery as I do now. It's my cross-over addiction. The thing about the Starbucks PSL- I had one a couple weeks ago (a tall, fit it in my cals for the day), and OMFG- it was soooo sweet- too sweet. I had sugar-overload mouth for hours after I drank it. Not good. I don't know how people order and finish a grande or venti. Yuck. On a lighter note, I found International Delight sugar free pumpkin spice Creamer at the store this morning, so I am HAPPY.

OK, question for you. Will you be able to drink it black?

Here's why:

I got to 100% Decaf before surgery and am bact to 1/2 regular and 1/2 decaf now, but on my plan it's black, therefore 0 calories.

I adore pumpkin spice lattes and gingerbread lattes. They don't make them sugar free :(

I love the sf pumpkin pie syrup! I use three teaspoons of instant Decaf coffee blended with a little warm Water, add a vanilla or chocolate Premier Protein Shake from costco and three pumps of syrup. Yum!!! And 30 grams of protein. The s'mores and caramel syrups are good too. What is Chike? .

Chike is a brand of protein that comes in a delicious coffee flavor and two shots of espresso. So good! I get a tub from Amazon.

I will have to try your recipe as soon as my syrup arrives.

      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?

      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.
