Best coffee drink poll



Recommended Posts

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?

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' date=' too. coffee is better and much cheaper.[/quote']

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 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...

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.

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.< /p>

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
