I was able to drink a cup 2 days in a row and it was fine and then I had one the third day and it was not fine. I'll wait a couple of weeks and try again.

I have a cup of regular coffee a day. And also drink Decaf. In fact my nutritionist suggested decaf to help me get my proper amount of liquids.< /p>

First thing in the morning I have coffee. I started back on it around week 3. About 4 oz. now I'm back up to 1 cup a day. I am a lover of coffee.

But I also get in my Water through the day.

I don't restrict myself from much. I just plan for healthy foods and a daily treat. Those treats would be my coffee and a low sugar dessert like Dannon sugar free yogurt or sugar free Jello, Popsicles, or even berries with some Splenda on them. Yum!

I couldn't imagine life w/o a cup of coffee first thing.

My doctor doesn't want me drinking regular coffee because I suffer from heartburn since having surgery. I do drink a cup of Decaf every morning after taking Prilosec though. I'm hoping that the heartburn will get better and I can go back to my regular coffee, I miss it!

Walmart and other stores I'm sure carry brands of dry Creamer that are carb friendly just read the bottle, I do not so caffeine anymore since my favorite way to have coffee was with half & half, and sugar on the first cup, and on the weekends I used to do 7- 10 cups per day, but I'm glad that now I do 1 cup Decaf, w/ equate, and dry creamer, still fighting the urge to go to a convenience store and grab a "Monster" just gotta keep saying no

I'm a sugar free redbull fan so I get the Monster urge! It's tough!! Actually in my diet phases I will be allowed carbonation eventually but since I'm already used to not having it I'm going to continue saying "no"

I had a nasty sugar free Monster in the purple large can I got to 2 per day sometimes, or 3 of the smaller cans, and I twice drank a 12 pack of the Red Bull while on spring break, so yeah definite NO!!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
