I may have cracked this nut!! I am a HUGE iced coffee fan in the summer time. I have been seeing commercials advertising those yummy beverages and have been really depressed I can't ( or should I say should not) indulge! So at home for lunch today I decided to take matters into my own hands and by George I think I've got it!!! I have a Keurig coffee maker and when I had my surgery I got a variety pack of K cup Decaf coffee. I am not a huge dark / bold roast lover so I still have a few of those floating around. I popped one into the Keurig and brewed a tall cup. To it I added some stevia, salted caramel SF Torani and skim milk. I poured over ice and I am in HEAVEN!!! It tastes almost identical to the restaurant / coffee shop ones, but without the caffeine sugar and fat!!! Now I have to actually go BUY some more decaf bold roast K cups!!! ( the bold roast allows the coffee flavor to shine thru once you add the ice- doesn't Water down the taste as much)

I go for the cream, but it always takes up a lot of calories...ah well. I need a vice, I guess. Whatever works for us coffee lovers! :)

I have been enjoying iced coffee soy latte with sugar free carmel flavoring. Very low calories. I am in HEAVEN! I just don't know if I can do without my coffee. I tried and just didn't feel right to me. (2.5 monts post op.)

Luv my homemade iced coffee.I make espresso cuz the ice waters it down. And I use REAL coffee. Always a dark roast. I add a little sf coffee Syrup and milk and yumminess...

If u put it in the blender with some frozen espresso cubes (hafta make in advance, obviously) u can put it in the blender with a little ice and whalla - a frappucino. I use frozen espresso cubes to use less ice to Water it down less.

chocolate Cappuccino Protein Shake ...one scoop (not the 2 suggested serving size), Java pro (1/2 scoop -- 1.5 is a serving), ice, almond mild, mixed in a blender. Yumm! I found java pro too strong on its own.

      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.
