    Surgery check so far so good no side effects keeping up with my H20 and Protein goals.

    Mentally I feel the same good, happy, cheerful, aggressive but that's just me.

    Physically since I had cancer last year I still have side effects from chemo and radiation but even that is getting better a lot faster. I have more energy walk 10,000 steps and the most unbelievable thing EVER i sleep 8-10 hours. Since I was 15 I've only slept 5 hours exactly like i had some internal alarm.

    Relationship with spouse same awesome supportive, sex 3-5 times a week.

    Socially ummmmm this is the sh*t that gets me I screamed my surgery from the rooftops because I didn't want my social groups family, friends etc there's too many to think I was dieing because I was all of a sudden getting thinner. Now every single time 9 out of 10 people see me its like so how many pounds you lost, how about now and NOW like a small child asking are we there yet annoying as f*ck. How can I tell them f* off without telling them to f* off :) I tried a reversal with my friend and ask her how much she weighs she shut up real quick lol I don't mind saying it not ashamed of it but its just annoying.

    So how do YOU guys feel (surgery, mentally, physically, relationships, socially) and what do you do when someone ask you that question?

    You make a valid point.

    You also need to know this isn't the land of misfit toys. We all have our hot buttons. We all are emotion-filled people. And not everyone will agree or give responses that jive with the validation you're seeking. We are NOT all happy shiny people.

    And vehemently disagreeing with someone does NOT make someone a bully. LOL. As Inigo said, "I do not think that word means what you think it means."

    (And I don't care, I got laid last night. It was spectacular. :D I highly recommend it.)

    Allllllrighty then.

    The prob I had was the idea of adding dietary fat to a relatively non-nutritious drink. The concept of fat bombs and bpc is just faddish lunacy from the Keto brigade. And I'm a ketoneer. LOL. I just think crap! Don't do any of the bs. You don't need it if your a fatty! I'm a fatty! I sure as hell don't need a fat bomb.

    Now, if I had 4% body fat and just "couldn't eat enough calories in a day," then maybe I need to think about fat bombs (which is what bpc is).

    But I see at your level now, no reason why you can't supplement a set amount of Protein powder/protein drink to have in decaff coffee. As much as I can eat, I'm maxed with food volume and still can't quite hit 60g minimum Protein. So by adding in my 6oz per day of Premier Protein I make my goal and allow a little wiggle room for veggies.

    I have 1 to 1 1/2oz per 9-12oz of hot decaff up to those 6fl oz.

    Ok but some fattys are going through things and may be vulnerable to people coming at them like that- bullying. I’m not one of them. Just gotta be careful you never know what the other person going through and my defense when I hear people talking bs is they HAVE to get laid so I can’t apologize for that. I like to create a safe environment where everyone can ask idiotic questions without judgement because I know a lot of people who are depressed or just going through life f*ed up I always try to help out as much as possible. I don’t want someone to read this topic and be like dang I can’t ask these people sh*t. Some are thinking about surgery, married to someone who had surgery, are in the process of getting to that surgery goal, post surgery, or maintenance. And through it all WE all have something in common that’s supposed to bond us.

    I'm sorry but some questions are just so idiotic that it results in a an instant kneejerk reaction. Your title clearly said BULLETPROOF coffee.

    This was right up there with eating pizza or a piece of KFC on the way home from VSG surgery.

    If you're trying to actively keep your calories low, while getting Protein reqs in for the day, why would you drink coffee (which goes down quite easily) laces with over a tablespoon of either butter, coconut oil, or MCT?

    I stay freezing (as do most). I drink hot Decaf tea or hot decaf coffee. I have my Protein Drink allotment for the day that helps me reach my daily goal. I add that to my coffee until I've hit my limit for the day...

    Ok so everyone has different thoughts of idiotic questions when I hear people talking about Hair loss or saggy skin I think that’s idiotic but I stay hushed cause it’s like duh. You could a said hell no to the bullet proof coffee and said yeah to black coffee or give me options for Hot Drinks. I’ve see Protein Powder in coffee and stuff like that.

    Kfc on the way home from bariatric surgery equals Keto coffee. Riiiiiight.

    Are you morbidly obese?

    If that sounds like a smart ass question, it is.

    We are MO. Period. End of story. I can NOT think of ONE scenario where our fat bodies actually NEED an influx of the amount of exogenous dietary fat from relatively nutritionless liquids. We get almost all the fat we need from the fat liberation that is hopefully going on inside our bodies! ALL post surgery patients in the initial weight loss phases are by-proxy on VLCDs (very low calorie diets). Why would you want to sabotage that on BS liquids like bulletproof fat laced, fat bomb coffee?

    And btw? I'm a low carb Keto proponent, but I think the latest evolution of fat obsessed ketoneers is totally luny bins crazy! We are not epileptics. And if we're MO, there is no way you need a diet 80-85% fat.

    I'm not fat phobic. I'm a dietary pragmatist and realist.

    Someone needs to get laid. Does that sound like a smartass answer sorry it is.

    Im not offended. But it was disrespectful.

    Have a blessed day.

    You probably can (always check with your doctors on such questions, rather than someone else's) but do you really want to be letting junk food back into your diet so soon? It may be Keto, but it is still basically empty calories, and liquid calories tend to be the best way to eat around your WLS. Not good to be getting into such habits so soon.

    Very true thanks for bringing me back to the light. Darn those liquid calories.
