coffee and creamers



Recommended Posts

I am looking for a Creamer? What is one of the better low calorie, high Protein good tasting Creamers to go with my Decaf coffee that I have learned to like. I like both powders and liquid. I am also wondering before we starting trying to get 70-80 grams of protein in since surgery. Do you think we consumed that amount before surgery?? Three months out. 29# since day of surgery.

For a while, I just used SF International Delight. Last week I received some BariWise Protein hot chocolate (15gm protein), I now turn my morning coffee into a mocha by adding coffee to the protein hot chocolate powder. I get my coffee and Breakfast together. I also received some Bariwise protein Almond Cappuccino but haven't tried it yet in my coffee .

I'm fascinated by these things, we dont have them here. Oh, there's coffeemate, which is a powder, hidden on the bottom back shelf in some supermarkets but here, we just put a dash of cold milk in coffee. Does nobody do that?

Not a criticism at all, just one of those cultural oddities.

Milk with your coffee!!! You crazy Aussies with your backward flushing toilets, Christmas in the middle of Summer, and that Platypus thing you got running around. Where do you guys come up with these crazy things? LOL. Just kidding. I have always used cream or artificial cream, milk just seems to weak to do the job. I am sure we probably used milk without hesitation until some company started marketing creamer. Now the rest is history.

Good question --- funny I prefer milk in my hot tea; however, have never cared for milk in my coffee. And I don't use just plain ole coffeemate, no, mine have to be flavored.

Guess we're just spoiled!

Bill, you're too funny.

Also probably right on on the creamer theory - and of course they keep coming out with all these new flavours that we just have to try - keeps us buying!

Gotta admit. I use to always use milk in my coffee. but I like HOT coffee... and the milk always cooled it too much for me. so I went to Creamers.< /span>

Since my VSG...I had quit coffee about a year prior, but now drink it in the morning, but I use my Protein Drink in it. I use the whey Protein Cookies n' cream and it is YUMMMMMMY!!! Get my coffee "fix" and my protein all at once, I can't eat breakfast, but am trying to make sure I get in my 3 meals a day, it works for me.

Great idea, Chancie. I am still in mushies and have not had coffee yet but I think the Jay Rob chocolate Protein shake I drink would make it into a delicious mocha. We've had a cold snap (50 degrees in SW LA is COLD!) and I think I'll try it tomorrow morning! Gotta warm the innards in the morning!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
