Addicted to Ice Coffee...ME???
Pre-op and up until this summer, I was never a coffee drinker because I simply didn't like the taste of coffee and only once in a Blue Moon would I have a Dunkin Donuts ice coffee with extra cream and extra sugar (to improve the taste), but this summer I seem to be addicted to the darn thing! I make my own because I certainly cannot afford to buy Dunkin Donuts all the time and dang flabit they are sooo good I can't stop drinking them!!! I don't make protein coffee, so I'm drinking it just regular with FF half & half, a shot of French Vanilla and Splenda to taste. I feel like am doing something wrong by not adding some protein to it. How bad is that? Anyone else on this coffee kick that didn't like it before???

That used to be me but what I do now is take about 8 ice cubes some vanilla syrup instant coffee to taste about 3 Tbs.of FF half and half and 2 scoops of chocolate Carmel protein let it whiz soooo good try it you will feel guilty cause it taste so rich you can also add some unsweetened cocoa and a little water to get it to the thickness you want 
I never drank coffee pre-op.. NEVER. But I did drink Mt Dew like it was my life line. And with ADHD, the caffeine kinda was. When I had surgery I told myself no more soda, forever (I *hate* the diet sodas, plus the acid in soda is awful for your teeth!). Lo and behold about a year post op I tried a latte and have been hooked since! Ha ha. If I am getting it at Stbx, I add two scoops of protein. At home I don't usually. Instead I use Hood Carb Countdown instead of my regular milk (I usually use full fat dairy)- it has 6 protein and 35 calories- so drinking a LOT of coffee doesn't sabotage me in the least.
I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

Beth's post is interesting to me because I have noticed, among my wls friends, that there are several who choose to drink coffee (decaf) rather than eat.....
for myself, yes, I often use coffee with FF creamer and splenda to quell hunger. I guess it is a little better than alcohol and shopping, lol.
