Do You Drink Coffee, How Much Weight Have You Lost?

[Ima Loser 197]

I drink coffee... I drink it every day... probably 2-3 cups... That being said I also drink ALOT of Water as well so I don’t really worry about the argument between whether coffee counts as a liquid or not... I am drinking enough water to get my daily intake plus whatever I could lose in coffee and probably a little more...

I don’t worry about the added calories too much bc I don’t use sugar and I use only about 1-2 tbsp of skim milk in it...

As to this coffee debate people have I say to each his own... There will never be a definitive answer on the coffee good or coffee bad debate!

I'm 9 weeks out, and drink regular coffee every day. I didn't have any the first 6 weeks after surgery, and I sure missed it. I'm 41 lbs down.

i am 13 works post op. i am down 75 lbs, 10 of those were pre op. at about 2 months post op i began drinking one delicious strong cup of coffee with 2 T of half and half and a t of sugar. i do calculate these extra calories into my daily intake and it does give me 2 g p. i do enjoy that cup of coffee each morning and about one a week i also enjoy a Cappuccino in a cafe .

I have had an iced vanilla latte (NOT sugar free) everyday for the last 20 months! I waited until I was healed (like a month to try my first one) I made my weight loss goal and have been maintaining for more than a year.

You are a WLS unicorn then.

I started drinking regular coffee one week after my surgery. Only one cup. I've given everything else up so I feel it couldn't hurt. Makes me feel normal. I'm 4 weeks post-op.

There are several brands of Protein Powder out there that make coffee or espresso powders, Click and Chike are two that come to mind. Click has about 12-15 g of Protein per serving and is the equivalent of 2 shots of espresso! When I combine that with a chocolate protein powder and some SF Torani Syrup, put it all in a clear plastic cold beverage cup from Starbucks with a lot of ice, I am smug in the deliciousness of something that is good for me and like 1000 calories less than what others are sucking down from 'bux.

Why? Starbucks tall vanilla latte made with skim milk w regular sugar has 150cals I drink

them on occasion. My everyday coffee is 90 cals I just make sure to track it all on MFP and stay within my limit. I can't do sugar free the chemicals in artificial sweeteners kill my throat.That being said I don't do much other sweet stuff.

They gave me a cup in the hospital, after surgery. I didn't drink it but did ask why, my dr was very lenient no restrictions.

I drink it maybe once a week for bathroom relief (caffinated and with creamer). Lol, it is a little miracle.
