Okay tell me if this dosen't sound good to you....." Can I please have a tall, non-fat,decaff, carmel machiotto with sugar substitute? Thanks!"

I had that yesterday, and let me tell you..........It was awsome!!!!! It wasn't even the caffine that I missed, it was the taste. And it even tasted better than the regular one.

Gotta do it again!

I just realized that the Creamer I put in my coffee everyday has 40 calories per teaspoon, I used the french vanilla creamer. I was using 2-3 in each cup and 3-4 cups a day. You do the math. 1600 calories in a week just for coffee creamer. I quit it cold turkey last monday and now just use nonfat milk, guess what big time weight loss for me this week. Those little hidden liquid calories we use in our coffees add up. Be careful!

I have NO idea what that is, but it certainly does sound good.

I LOVE coffee, all kinds. :)

LOL- Paula, I always tell the guys at starbucks that I know nothing about coffee(cause I don't) & they set me up with something new to try & if I don't like it they actually make me something else- no charge..Very nice..try it sometime;0)

PS- Most of the time I love IT!

Point well taken with the Cream, wow 1600 calories is a lot. I still gotta have my coffee though I will keep the cream calories in mind. I just ordered coffee from Holland, yummm, can't wait until it gets here.

Oh no!...I am devastated!...and doomed!!. I KNEW it!!!! Dad-blast-it! Shoott! And any other non-curse words I can "legally" post. I have purposfully avoided even looking close enough to know for sure, but in my heart, I knew it. I use the vanilla creamer and use 1-2 teaspoons in 4-5 cups a day...I don't need to do the math to know I'm done for. I'm gonna be like princess with the cigarette headache, 'cept mine is caffiene. I'd rather give up the coffee than drink it without the vanilla creamer. And the fat free kind s*cks, and the splenda kind is even worse.

Back up and punt...there's GOT to be a solution...going to search the threads.

That whatever-latte thingy sounds very yummy!! I can't have one, I'll get hooked and go broke and gain weight...

I love Starbuck's peppermint mochas that they have at christmas. I also was given a sample of the new drinking chocolate stuff they have (can't remember what it's called). It's really good, but boy is it rich!

The coffee liquor is good too, and with milk just like Penni said, but my mom and I make homemade coffee liquor (we call it kahlua even though that's a brand name). The longer it sits, the better it tastes, so a batch that we've been able to keep our hands off of for a long time is way better than the Starbucks one ;) (cheaper too!!).

I just use milk and splenda in my coffee for the most part. I used to use those flavored Creamers, but I quit, because I was trying to tone down my sweet tooth! Sometimes I add cinnamon to my coffee.

oooooh cinnamon dark chocolate quad breve....

Somehow I don't think that will work on my clear liquid.... *sigh*

I like to put cinnamon in my French Press (although pumpkin pie spice is yummy too) a little turbinado or dark muscovado sugar.... and some 1/2 & 1/2 ....

My one true vice... (muscovado sugar is so raw there is still chunks of molassis in it...)

I'm with Kathy, gotta have the straight french vanilla or no coffee at all. I don't like the ff or splenda blends either. I was hitting dq for the mocha moolatte a few days a week last month, those are soooo good, but I've made myself stop because they are probably morbidly laden with calories. See? I am SUCH a bad bandster!

you know, if your looking for a low fat, low calorie coffee, try "Cafe' con leche." Spanish for coffee with milk. I pour about 6-8 oz of skim milk, microwave to right temp, then mix the coffee, sweet-n-low, and then to make it really worth while I grade cinnimon over it. It is fat free and tastes so good. And you don't have to spent money on it.

      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.
