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?

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' 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>

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
