I'm was a huge coffee drinker with reg flavored creamer. Since being banded I've switched to decaf but haven't had much coffee I miss it but I don't feel like I enjoy it as much as I use to. I've tried to drink out with sf creamer but it's not the same. Are my diehard coffee drinkers drinking something else that is just as satisfying? do you allow yourself your reg coffee with your reg cream?

i always drank my coffee black but on my pre op, the dr and nutritionist stated to go without caffeine now i drink half decaf coffee and also tea the same way

i dont think alittle creamer will hurt you but i understand they have some excellent options that are ff

I drink coffee just like I used to. I stick to lower calorie versions of things I like. At home I make a pitcher of coffee with all the added stuff (sweetener, creamer) and stick it in the fridge. Since I like iced coffee, the cold coffee is ready to go for the week. If I need to make more, I do. I have 1 coffee a day and try to stick to water as much as possible. It doesn't always work.

I also like energy drinks. I've found that the Monster Rehab ones are non-carbonated and have around 10 cals/serving. I keep drink mix packets with me to jazz up my water so I don't get bored. Just some ideas. Making your stuff at home is cheaper and you know EXACTLY what's going in it.

Cafe con leche... or coffee and skim milk and couple tablespoons of tasty liquid creamer. some time they have no fat some times no sugar,,,some times i do the whole enchilada,, it's my sweet for the day.

Water, lots of it. Then I'll have a decaf coffee with cream at about 11 a.m.

protein shake, decaf coffee or nonfat milk each morning.

Caffeine free hot tea...... This from a former diet coke addict who had 2 downed before work!

1 scoop of vanilla Unjry to my black coffee takes the place of the cream and sugar, GOOD STUFF, I get my protien, warms up my band so lunch goes through a little easier, a little pick me up and helps things move through the system a little faster WIN WIN
