Counter culture...Toby's estate....blue bottle...stumptown. I stick to the best stuff, drink it black and savor it at a great cafe.

I used Stumptown this morning! Have you ever tried Poverty Bay? So good....

No never heard of it!

I was served Decaf coffee in the hospital! Stayed on decaf for a few weeks then went back to my fav: Peets French Roast (black). Haven't had the slightest problem.

I came to the conclusion that there was no 1 right answer so I waited 2 weeks after surgery to ride the java train and 1.5 months for the booze (I don't drink often). Not saying I would advise the same, but I am only 2 months out and all is good.

Don't sleep on the single origin Beans from La Colombo. Todd Carmichael (Dangerous Grounds on Discovery) is a goofball, but the man roasts amazing beans.

Seriously if you can find a bag of Geisha varietal that will change your life. I promise.

I am a huge coffee fiend, myself! My doctor told me that I couldn't have any coffee for a month after surgery because of the acidity, and I did follow his instructions. After that month passed, though...right back on the coffee!

I usually have either a skinny latte or Americano with a shot of sugar free Syrup when I go to Costa or Starbucks. Most of the time before I leave for work or when I'm at home, I use my Nespresso machine and pour the shot of coffee with a bit of sugar free syrup and a splash of unsweetened roasted almond milk over ice. Investing in some sugar-free syrups off of Amazon and getting a Nespresso machine has saved my hubby and I a TON of money.

I love my nespresso machines! I have one in office and one home. It is definitely saved me from Starbucks expenses. I also used the Decaf when off coffee and being able to have small coffee is ideal since take so long to drink sometimes!

I broke out my Burundi Beans and my Aeropress this morning. I cannot tell you how magical that was... The Dilaudid probably enhanced it, but twonsips finally broke the "my bowels are taking a long siesta" thing and now, finally, I feel human.

I knew my coffee would make all the difference in my recovery. ;)

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
