Lebim 381 Posted August 3, 2012 Lol I work at Starbucks. I can stomach coffee/espresso/tea just fine. Only problem is I prefer my americano with half/half and I really have a hard time stomaching milk... so a grande coffee with cream/equal takes me all day to drink. What sucks even worse is I LOVE soy milk but am allergic so I'm shit out of luck no matter what I do.

My nutritionist said the reason they didn't want me drinking caffeine in the beginning is because they didn't want any foreign stimulant in my body immediately post op. I've been cleared to drink all the caffeine I want since about 2 weeks post op - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen in SoCal 189 Posted August 3, 2012 My nutritionist and the PA at the surgeons office also ok'd me to drink regular coffee. To be honest though I can only stomach about half a cup in the am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My favorite drink was white Choc mocha, non fat/no whip. Looking for a new drink. I would like to stay caffeine free and sugar free...what can I get from there....if you don't mind me asking. I miss my Starbucks so bad!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DLCoggin 1,788 Posted August 3, 2012 I've been drinking two to three cups of Decaf since I was about three months out. coffee is loaded with antioxidants and has a ton of other benefits. I absolutely believe that it helps me feel full between meals. I drink it with splenda and flavored Creamers - I'll take my chances with the extra 35 calories. Love my coffee and ain't giving it up till someone prys it out of my cold dead fingers!!! 1 Bert_n_ernie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwiladydee 402 Posted August 3, 2012 In the weight loss surgery for dummies book it says be careful with tea because it has tannis in it which stops you from absorbing Iron.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenneliza 257 Posted August 4, 2012 I had a half-caf sugar free hazelnut skinny latte today which I used to live off today and it tasted terrible. Ive been drinking my Decaf black tea daily or echinnacea tea and love it. I was honestly disappointed when I realized coffee didn't taste good anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
