I like mine hot, black, and strong, first thing in the morning. Right now I'm drinking a Breakfast blend pod. I used to order my Beans from a coffee roaster, grind just enough for a cup or two, and make my own pods for the Keurig. Again, hot, black, and strong. Ahhhh......love me some coffee. Sometimes I'll have some iced coffee, or chai latte tea, or other flavored coffee with a little bit of Creamer later in the day, but I try to avoid that because it interferes with my full time job of taking Vitamins.< /p>

So do you think it is the caffeine or the extra Protein that helped break your stall? Or have you removed any carbs by switching to the low carb chike? Answer not for me, but for others.

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)' date=' 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?[/quote']

My favs are the Iced White Mocha Latte or Iced Vanilla Spice Latte, both with non-fat milk and no whip from SB. I have one 3-4 times a week.

The extra Protein and the fact that I upped my liquid intake. I also think it could be the caffeine.I'm not sure, because I do caffeine oNce a day and then is Decaf afterwards.

I didn't drink coffee much pre-surgery (Mtn dew was my daily pick-me-up) but I LOVE Big Train fit frappe mocha and drink that almost every day. Now that it's warm, either over ice or as a homemade frappe'. 20 gs of Protein too. I don't think it has as much caffeine as Starbucks. Here's the link, but I buy it at Sam's Club. https://www.bigtrain...inks-c-143.aspx

Now I thought everyone in the Seattle area like their latte this and their mocha that given the infusion of Starbucks stores and local baristas. Lol. Maybe that is more true of my generation (i am 36) and younger. Now I know better. :)

Haha. I do love fancy expensive coffee drinks, although I usually go to a local stand. But believe me, I can take my coffee black, sweet and black, with milk or with the whole shebang. It depend on my mood.

Right now my choice seems to be black with cinnamon and a little sweetener. If I indulge in a latte, it will be a caramel macchiato or a white coffee latte with peppermint (sugar and fat free, natch).

I was born and raised in the other side of the Sound, so not quite a native Seattleite...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
