Ok, I admit I'm a slow adopter. LOL. So many of you probably already have been making this for centuries. Most of you know how much I still :780_sparkling_heart: my decaff Protein lattes--17 months out. I still love the mornings when I'm not fasting and get to put a juuuge in mah morning or afternoon cuppa. :D Nirvana!

BUT! Lately, I've been jamming on two different decaff coffee variations! They are "non-recipes". Not a great deal of measuring...unless you want to track your cocoa.

Decaff With Cinnamon - Just sprinkle a bit of ground cinnamon in the bottom of your cup and fill with hot decaff coffee. Nothing else. No sweetener. No Creamer or Protein Drink. Just pure cinnamon and decaff. So refreshing. Plus the ground cinnamon may make you lower your blood glucose! Score!

Mocha Cafe With Cinnamon - Put 5g of extra dark cocoa powder in the bottom of mug + ground cinnamon + decaff coffee. Stir as you add the super hot (coffee needs to be super hot to incorporate the cocoa) coffee. Enjoy. Cocoa is filled with anti-oxidants and polyphenols that offer great nutritional bang for your buck and makes your gut and brain happy happy! :D

What are some of your easy peasy non-recipes/tips of things that get your through the day without adding a crap ton of calories or leading yourself astray from cravings?

      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.
