Coffee
Michelle
I was a coffe aholic before surgery... Stayed off it for only a week... THis is how I get liquids. I only drink sf iced tea, hot tea and coffee. I cannot go without it. I do not think I am having a problem from it. It is when I do not drink it! The docs have not asked me to stop it... I LOVE MY COFFEE...

Mo, I have been drinking my coffee black since I was 4 yrs old (mom gave it to me early, I guess!). Only lately have I been drinking NF lattes - actually within the past month or two. But, I do love to put a small squirt of DaVinci SF syrup in my coffee at night (Irish Cream, Chocolate, B52, Vanilla, Hazelnut - whatever is on hand). I get the flavor without the fat and calories of a creamer.

Michele ~ Not sure if the coffee actually helps with weight loss, but I've been drinking it from fairly early out. I used to get mochas or white chocolate mochas; but now they sit too heavy in my tummy so I stick with a latte or breve. Up here in AK, we've got coffee drive-thru's all over the place so I get them fairly often! I also drink regular coffee with creamer and splenda.

Michele-
I have been drinking coffee since two months after surgery. I drink decaf and try to put at least 1/4 C milk in it to soften it and also to get some protein. I will also get lattes (decaf skim of course!). I don't think it has effected my weight either weigh .
But I love my 'placebo' coffee-- so I ain't givin' it up. I will sometimes have a latte if I am want sugar-- it still feels like a treat.
