Coffee? What kind and creamer on pre-op?

[Karlnjax 163]

Can anyone share with me what type of coffee they drink in the mornings when on pre-op diet and also post-op? Also what type of Creamers? Can you use fat free coffee creamer favorited?

Why didn't I think of this post!! lol Great job Karlnjax!

I am pre-op. Surgery scheduled for September 21st.

I hope you get some replies because I would like to know as well. Right now, I am weaning myself off of caffeinated coffee. I am up to 85% Decaf. Next week (or maybe tomorrow) I will be full decaf. Next is Creamer. Right now I do the Internat Hazelnut creamer. Once I switch to full decaf I will do part hazelnut creamer and nonfat creamer, then ultimately just nonfat creamer and Splenda.

Great question.

I'm 5+ months out and wondering the same.

I'm having full throttle freshly ground coffee, stevia & sugar free CoffeeMate creamer.

I'll be switching over to regular/decaf blend soon. Figured at 2 months out I'd go 75/25, then at one month it would be 50/50 and then down to full Decaf.< /p>

One thing that did work just fine for me was using a premixed bottle of vanilla Protein shake for creamer. Worked great.

The only reason I stopped is I didn't care to leave partial shake bottles in fridge for the time frame it would take to consume in coffee.< /p>

In the future, I'll use it for creamer and simply down the rest as a Protein.

Works just fine. I've had some vanilla and chocolate powders work okay.....some clumped up, though.

Walden Farms makes Creamers, different flavors. No calories, sugar, carbs.

I am working to like coffee with no sweetener- I can have caffeine- my surgeon has no issue with coffee just all sugar added!

I have been mixing unsweetened almond milk with a little stevia, but I am weaning off all sweeteners-- ???????? it is hard!

I've been mixing my iced coffee with Premier Protein vanilla Protein shakes and some sugar free Torani Syrup. I'm still several months pre-op, but this gives me a delish flavored coffee and a Protein boost.
