Ok all you post op closet coffee drinkers (myself included): you loved coffee as a pre op and you still love it as a post op. There is no shame in declaring your love of the bean. After a largely successful drink poll thread this last week ( still active), I think a 2nd slightly less controversial poll is in order.

What are your favorite ways to drink your daily or weekly coffee? How often do you like to have coffee?

I will go first.

At 10 months post op, there are a few ways I like to drink coffee:

Daily: 1 cup of standard coffee with a tbsp of coconut creamer and two Splenda or 1 Cappuccino with NF frothed milk and 2 Splenda. Made with my nifty SB verismo machine.

Weekly: 1 grande NF latte with SF hazelnut from Starbucks or 1 Grande NF Mocha with SF raspberry (not at Starbucks as they do not carry SF raspberry )

Hot day (today!!): 24 oz NF iced mocha with SF raspberry. Ice takes up space so it is really about 16 oz coffee.

I drink coffee because of the flavor and the "pick me up." I started drinking cappuccino size coffee at 2 months. It was really not until month 6 when I started to drink standard grande size.

What about you?

Surgar free vanilla iced McCafe. I'm low maintenance coffee-wise.

wow mcd's has SF? I will have to remember that next time I'm traveling. I'm boring with my coffee. I mix my choco premiere with 8 oz coffee, ice, and a Splenda for breakfast every morning.

Cafe bustello. Cafe con leche with 2 teaspoons of sugar about 5-9 times a day oh and only whole milk! I usually mix in a scoop of isopure Dutch Choc in my first and fourth cup, gotta get my protein in!!

Very good idea to mix in the protein, especially since it is chocolate flavor. Maybe mixing in the Syntrax chocolate truffle or vanilla bean would be good with the coffee. However, I tend to think 1 scoop would make a cup of coffee too thick. Not sure. I will just have to try that!

They sure do! The McD cafe coffee drinks are pretty good and gaining market share. They are super convenient to order when on a long drive as there are more McD then SB it seems.

Try WaWa coffee when you are on the go. They have SF, too. Coffee is better and much cheaper.

Is WaWa coffee a regional store? I have never heard of it here in WA.

Edit: looked them up and see they are primarily east coast.

I use decaf so I consider it getting my water in.. I make a big old fashioned pot. I have hot coffee with fat free half and half and splenda or with caramel sugarfree syrup. i then later make an iced coffee.. I put unflavored protein in at times to get 20grams ...i live on this to get my fluids in...

I work at Starbucks part time. My drink of choice on a hot day is an iced tall skinny Mocha (sf mocha syrup, nonfat milk) with sugar free caramel. It is delicious hot or iced ...

Black/Americano with one of the gazillion sf torani syrups flavors ... Or a mixture of a couple flavors. Nothing else. No carbs and very few calories.

Nice thread,... My breakfast or lunch is almost always 3 cups of iced coffee (I have and make my own blend) 1/2 cup of mootopia )( HEB low carb milk) one scoop vanilla pro v 60, 2 tbs sf vania creamer, stevia and sf vanilla syrup . A very vanilly iced coffee to pick me up ! I also drink coffee when I wake up with sf vanilla creamer , stevia, and top it with sf whip cream! Never liked coffee this much

I love the iced coffee with SF vanilla from MC Donalds, too. I add my Muscle Milk to it and have half of it for breakfast and the other half as a snack.
