I used to be a Starbucks regular.

I loved coffee. I loved Mochas. LOVELOVELOVE. I tried a Decaf iced coffee there last week and it was BAD. I thought it was just a fluke. Maybe it was just too strong. I hadn't had coffee of any kind for over 2 months.

I tried a lighter tasting blend here at home this morning. Bad. Just awful.

Most of my tastes had changed, everything tasted off and just wrong.

Everything has gotten back to normal for the most part.

I used to love coffee. Now I feel like the nine year old kid who begged her mom to let her have coffee and finally got it and it was awful!

Of course I would normally have full fat half and half and now it's fat free and I know that is a big issue....

Oh goodness.....

Well luckily I don't like PSL. Unluckily, I also don't like the Protein drinks either!

The pumpkin spice coffee at Dunkin Donuts has 34 grams of sugar for a medium coffee and 160 calories. I only made the mistake of ordering it one time. Was too scared to even drink it for fear of dumping! Lol! Dangit! I love pumpkin spice!

I think everything I used to drink had 5 billion sugars. There is no way I could drink it right now, or I would be too afraid to, anyway.

My surgery was in March and I hated garlic until July. I'm part Italian and used to use a lot of garlic. Your tastes change but my body was clearly trying to help me. I had bad acid reflux so garlic and onions would be stupid. I like garlic now (6 months out). I'm still careful with it. You might find that you'll like it again. I was off coffee for months and had much more energy. It doesn't taste the same to me, either.

I never use to like Starbucks, but I became hooked on the unsweetened iced coffee with skim milk. I love it, I love it, I love it!!!! The only thing I hate is that it does have some calories, but it gives me that extra jolt of energy I need.

      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.
