I'm under the impression that products called "creamer" contain no food ingredients except for sugars which is why I've never tried them.

Ages and ages ago I got into a habit of fat-free, evaporated milk and have stayed with it. Because it's evaporated (concentrated), it has more calories (without being high calorie) than fresh, non-fat milk, but it's got body, unlike fresh non-fat which is anemic in coffee. If you decide to try it, be aware that, for the first day or two, it may taste a little funny in coffee. It took me that long to not notice. I'm talking "funny" the way half-and-half tastes funny to someone (me) who'd used whole milk. In a pinch I use 2% fresh milk. The fact that it provides a few grams of Protein is a plus in my book.

25 cals per 2T; 1g Protein per T

(This isn't a recommendation, as I have no idea of your tastebuds. Just telling you what I use.)

1/2 and 1/2 or whole milk for me. I've also heard of people using chocolate or vanilla Protein Shakes as creamer if you like sweeteners as well as creamer.

International delight has fatfree sugar free creamer I love

Sent from my VS986 using the BariatricPal App

I found after my sleeve I don't tolerate creamer at all it makes me very nauseated. I use to drink creamer in my coffee before. My taste has defiantly changed.

Ever read the label or "creamer"? I don't think it qualifies as food.

Why not milk or even 1/2 &1/2 ?

      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.
