Favorite hot beverage



Recommended Posts

I was so cold last night that I wanted something hot to drink to warm me up. What is your favorite decaffeinated hot beverage? I haven't had caffeine yet even though I know we can. coffee, hot chocolate or tea suggestions?

Peppermint tea with a splash of lemon. Sometimes I even add a bit of unflavored Protein Powder to it.

(swiss chocolate)

(buy one case, other 1/2 price!!) too good to pass up

salesperson suggested i microwave the shake :rolleyes:

nuked, stirred, nuked etc for total of 2 minutes

yum yum yum

proudgrammy I really like the GNC total lean chocolate shakes cold...I never thought to heat them up. Thanks for the tip! I don't like the bariatric hot cocoa's I have tried...they taste "fake". As for me and hot bev's I like Decaf hazelnut coffee. It's my morning indulgence.

I found a blueberry tea at Wholefoods that I had been drinking on ice for a few weeks when I decided to nuke it and had a little Splenda. It was pretty good and Country Peach from Celestial Seasonings is good warmed with a splash of cream!

If you have a teavanna near you they have amazing decaffeinated loose leaf teas that you buy by the ounce. I have a chai and chamomile blend that I drink in the winter time

Protein'd Chai

Nestea instant tea, (decaf if you like)

vanilla Protein powder

ginger

cinnamon

ground cloves

You can use Water or milk or a combo of the 2

Heat you liquid without the whey in it or it will clump

You may have to experiment with how hot the liquid can be, (I recommend less than boiling) or it may cook your whey - blech!

Toss in a ball shaker and shake once, then butp, twice the burp, rinse and repeat until you get it mixed well. Hot liquids + whey in the shaker can be volitile if you don't burp them so don't skip that part!

Don't make any more than you can drink in a sitting, because you'll not want to put this in the microwave and warm it up. Again, chunks, yuk!

Pour in a mug (I use a go-cup thermos to retain the heat) and enjoy a spicy, foamy creamy high Protein treat!

You can do the same with coffee. I do a protein'd latte every morning!

Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
