So I respect those who don't drink coffee but I have never had a problem drinking it and have never come across a good reason to quit. The only problem for me was the empty calories so I decided to make it healthy. Every morning I drink about 12 ounces of coffee with 1/2 cup skim milk, 1/3 serving of Unjury chocolate splendor Protein Powder and 1 tablespoon of unsweetened chocolate powder. This has about 80 calories and 11.5 grams of Protein. It is a perfect way for me to start my morning any still get in some protein. You can also jazz it up a little if you get bored by adding half a peppermint. candy or caramel and it only adds about 15 calories.

I'll do you one better - the coffee and espresso Protein powders!! Click and Chike are two popular and delicious brands, fewer calories and carbs and higher Protein so you get to have MORE COFFEE!!!!! :D Throw in a splash of sugar free Torani or dainci Syrup and it is indistinquishable from the calorie bombs at starbucks

I heart coffee :) I'm drinking it now, and I drink it every day. I have a cup black in the morning, and usually once or twice a day I'll have a cup of flavored coffee. I try different Keurig cups with different Creamers. pumpkin spice coffee and Creamer, Winter carnival coffee with Salted caramel mocha creamer are two of m faves. It really helps curb my appetite, so the 30 calories I spend on creamer is worth it to me.

Globe, I also love the Chike iced coffee, but since it's well below zero here in Michigan, I'm sticking to Hot drinks for now! Do you drink it hot?

Disclaimer - I'm a year out, and I didn't drink any coffee for the first 6 weeks. Also, I do not take Vitamins near the time I drink coffee so I don't have an issue with absorption.

Yes I do drink them hot - my trick is to make a "concentrate" cold and then add in either hot Water or steamed milk, that way it prevents the dreaded Protein powder curdle-chunking that often happens when you try to make PPs hot.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
