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?

It's called mootopia ' date=' HEB is a Texas grocery store and its there brand of low carb, high Protein milk.[/quote']

I have a cup every morning with Mootopia milk and one packet of Truvia. I sit out on the porch drinking my cofee and enjoying the birds chirp before I start my day!

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.

Good for you to drink coffee without any creamer. I could never do that. the taste is just not right for me. I think Laura said she likes her coffee black also.

My dad taught me to drink black coffee by saying you don't get a coffee break unless you drink coffee and he only had black coffee in his thermos. I've spoiled myself with torani though.. Carry it in my purse.

My yummy iced coffee of the day. 1.5 tbsp coconut creamer, 4 tsp Splenda and coffee.

My wife's coffee of the day. Cappuccino with 4 tsp Splenda and 8 oz frothed milk:

I like to have these also during the week.

Daily coffee;

a mix of beans decaf and regular..

Days like today black with one Splenda

But some days a splash of milk...

Some days I get crazy and have one of each!

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.

3 or 4 cups black coffee in the morning and a Starbucks skinny peppermint mocha sometime during the day. Love my coffee!

love the SB skinny peppermint mocha also! Too bad SB only carries the SF peppermint at Christmas time. I tried to order this drink in February and was denied. I had to improvise to something similar. SB does not even carry SF raspberry so I end up buying my SF mocha with raspberry from a local barista stand.

I'm quitting coffee starting tomorrow.

It's become a daily thing, where as before it was maybe once a week.

Sigh...

What is wrong with a daily thing?

Empty carbs and calories, for me. Plus, I don't want to get my caffeine habit back.

Not to mention I've had issues with SVT and excessive caffeine use aggravates it. My SVT has been well behaved with my weight loss and I don't want to wake the sleeping dragon, ya know?

Hah.. I didn't say I don't like the lattes and mochas.. Fact I used to love the mocha milk shakes. Obviously, to much!

And yes.. You're my daughters age. Just hush
