I drink a Starbucks iced skinny mocha for a treat every now and then. I love them and have no problems with drinking it whatsoever. The only thing to watch for me are the empty calories, the carbs and the sugar.

I make regular coffee at home and have 1-2 cups every morning. No problems. Started drinking regular coffee at about 8 weeks post op.

I was a coffeeholic before the surgery and used to get headaches if I don't consume at least 1 cup in 24 hours. But it all changed after the surgery. I am a 9 weeks post surgery and I've have consumed coffee only 3 times in these 9 weeks. I kind of dislike the taste and smell :blink:. I feel sad, but I don't crave for it nor want to have it.

I first drank Decaf. Now (10 weeks out), I drink one 8 oz cup of regular coffee every morning without any problems. I think it helps with Constipation.

      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.
