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.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
