Drink out of a straw?

Eat regular foods? I mean...I NEVER want to be a compulsive over-eater again, and I have not cheated once since my surgery (May 21st), but I was just wondering, for example, let's say I want two french fries one day. Will it make me sick?

Have caffeine? I know my pop days are over. I can deal with that. However, I like my coffee in the morning. I don't go overboard. I usually drink 1 cup. Decaf coffee is gross. I want my one cup of coffee with my tablespoon of vanilla creamer again. Is that too much to ask?

Is sugar off limits forever???

What about alcohol? Beer, wine, mixed drink? Anything?

Will I EVER have to stop obssessing about getting in my required Protein???

Will there ever be a time that I can get my protein from food rather than these damn Protein shakes. Right now I'm on lean meats, yogurt, cheese, etc...but I can only tolerate an ounce of food at a time, so the protein I get from these foods is very small and I still have to supplement with shakes.

Have a cup of coffee and enjoy it! Straws are the only way i can drink slowly. When i try to drink out of a cup, i always drink too much and it hurts. Straws help me measure each sip. I don't even think about it anymore.

In time, try a couple fries. I bet you will think they are nasty. All i can taste is grease and they leave a funky film on my tongue.

Alcohol...sure, but be careful. I get tipsy on just a few sips.

You will find you can eat normal...just smaller amounts. Your probably just in your freak out, "this crap sucks" phase. It gets soooo much better!!!

try a small cup of coffee and add a vanilla Protein shake.It is soo good. I get my caffine and my protein and I don't need sweetener because the shake makes it sweet. I swear I love it!

Does that kinda make it taste like coffee with creamer and sugar? How strong is the vanilla taste over the coffee taste?

I do this all the time! But I use instant coffee powder (Bru - the most popular brand in India). I just add 1 tsp coffee powder to my vanilla Protein Powder and blend it with cold milk or milk + ice cubes. I dont like the skimmed milk or soy milk so I just use regular milk (3%). I love that cold coffee shake!!

The only way that I can get my Protein Shake in is by adding either coffee or reduced-fat PB. I like both variations.

The vanilla taste isnt strong at all. It tastes like coffee with creamer.

I assume they use a blender...but I'll tell you how I do it with just a spoon...google "powdered peanut butter". Heaven.

I love it too Jazzmin...the protein & coffee mix is really good. I do the same thing except I use iced decaf coffee. The caffeine was giving me heartburn.

You're right, I use a blender. I use the JIF PB and blend it with cold milk or milk+ice cubes and Protein powder. I blend it twice to get a smooth latte.

I haven't tried powdered PB. Need to check if it is available in India. Thanks for the tip!
