attn: coffee drinkers.......question ???

I am not allowed to have COFFEE at all for six months!
I have had decaf with sf toriani's or davinci syrops
Yay starbucks for getting some sf stuff tooo

Why can't you have coffee

 It's up to you....do what works for you..

I tried SF creamer a few times...yuck! I decided that for me, I wanted to enjoy my one cup of coffee in the morning..I drink it with full fat, real sugar, french vanilla creamer, and I don't skimp...I use about 4 TBSP. And if I go to DD, I get my fave blueberry coffee, light and sweet....

I don't drink Coolata's or stuff like that anymore, though, and I don't have multiple cups of coffee...later in the day, I choose green tea, plain.

So far, so good....my weight loss has been great..and I get to enjoy my one cup. To make a workable lifestyle, there are trade offs....and you have to decide where you can indulge and where you might prefer to restrict to make a balance....

 love my coffee straight up!  However, I'm switching to decaf next week for my 1 wk pre op.  I don't want the caffeine withdrawals while I'm recovering from surgery.  I'm really dreading giving up my caffeine... but it's got to go!

I believe the no coffee is due to it is hard on your tummy .. no ulcers needed

as well as it is a diretic(sp)
so they do not want you to get dehydrated

 Splenda to sweeten coffee.

Iced coffee / frappe.. 

OMG LOVE MUSCLE MILK LIGHT CAFE LATTE

I think it is like 180 calories and 25g protein.. TASTES WONDERFUL

LOL, preop there are no such things as dumb questions--it's your job to find out as much as you can. :o)

I don't use sweetners for my coffee postop; I make protein coffee instead. I find that my protein powders are sweet enough so I put a scoop of two in 16 to 22 oz of coffee and, depending on what protein you use, that may yield half or more of your protein requirements for the day!!!
