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.

      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.
