I love my coffee



Recommended Posts

I love coffee as well, but have done my best to limit it to one cup a day now... sometimes two if it is a really hard day.

Awe, the first time I could enjoy a good cup of coffee was last week and I am so happy. The funny thing is I used to drink 3 cups a day now I only drink 1/2 to 1 cup a day and I am very satisfied!!

I'm drinking Decaf. My doctor said no coffee for 4 months so that is what I'll do.

Luv my coffee. I could drink coffee from sun up to sundown. I usually just use a splash of sf Creamer, but occasionally I enjoy a sugar free fancy drink from the local coffee house. Last week, I ordered a "lo carb/lo calories" frozen mocha from a new coffee place. So yummy. An hour later, my stomach was cramping. Badly. Felt like after eating an Atkins bar. For about 2 hrs I was running to the bathroom.

So for experimental sake, I ordered another today, wondering if it was the drink. It is. My stomach is currently cramping. Must be sorbitol in it (same as Atkins uses). I can use Splenda, Nutra Sweet and Saccharin but not sorbitol. Guess no more yumminess for me...

While I CAN drink unlimited coffee a day, I usually keep it to about 2. The 30 calories from the sf creamer can add up quickly. Other than the hidden calories and dyhydration factor, not sure why coffee is out for alot of drs. My dr said I can drink moderately, he wouldn't take away all my vices...thank God!

Good luck and enjoy ur coffee!!!

      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.
