Foo Foo Coffee Drinkers...

So pre-op I was a coffee drinker, not a huge one, but I'd get my 20oz. Mocha Au Lait from Moxie Java just about every day or make it at home. Problem is that is made with chocolate milk and caramel syrup. Now my "sample" menu does list LF Chocolate Milk, bit I'm scared of dumping. Not to mention its empty calories but there are days I need a treat. :"

Obviously I would have to more like a 12oz. and do SF caramel syrup. So I am wondering what others have been able to drink. I am just wondering what others do that might drink this kind of coffee?

As a recent post-op I drank steamed milk with sugar free flavoring in it.  You can get it at Starbucks or Caribou.  Now I drink coffee instead of soda and there are plenty of drinks that can be made with coffee, sugar free flavorings and skim milk.  If you need an idea to get you started ask them what they recommend with those items and try it.  From there you'll have an idea of what you want to add or change. 

Try making chocolate milk with SF syrup.  Walden Farms makes an absolutely WONDERFUL chocolate syrup that is 0 cals, carbs.

What ever you do, make sure you look at the sugar in the milk you drink...although at two weeks post op I would stick to non caloric liquids..  There is plenty of times for frou frou drinks.  good luck!

Skim Milk has more sugar than fat, 2% has more fat than sugar.  That's why some post-op do better with one milk than the other.  Some people do very well with Soy Milk.

Hello, my name is Darla, and I'm a fat-free, sugar free (caramel or hazelnut) latte addict. (everyone, all together now ---   "Hi, Darla!")

HI DARLA....welcome to the CA club...Coffee (drinkers) anonymous.

Well, I tried 8oz. of coffee in my SF Instant Carnation Bfast (chocolate) with skim milk. I haven't had coffee in about a month and I was a daily drinker. WOW! I feel like running around the block or yelping!!

I believe if I hit a coffee joint I will try Skinny SF Chocolate Latte.
