Thank you, Ladies.

(and Mo--I SWEAR when I saw you had replied, I was SURE you were going to clown me for still drinking the latte's!!)

1.) The BACKLINES have backlines. Watch what you say and more importantly WHO YOU SAY IT TO!! 2.) There are NO secrets on BAF. DON'T BE FOOLED!!
3.) The person who says: "I'm going to tell you something, but you can't tell anyone." has already TOLD 50 other people!  
No--this isn't from experience--well, not MINE anyway!

Morning, Miguel! 

Protein does keep the hunger at bay for me.  I do remember some of the "vets" saying it aided in keeping their hunger at bay early out.  However, the further out from surgery, they noticed the hunger returned.
Caffeine does not keep the hunger at bay for me.  It helps keep me...well...uh....

I didn't think the Vanilla protein was gonna mix well with the latte.  You know I don't understand how you drink cold coffee anyway!!!

I know you tried a ready-to--drink shake and didn't like it, but I forgot to ask you if you tried to mix one yourself.  If so, how was it?

I am so proud you haven't given up trying to find what works best for you.  It's out there....I promise!!!

Hi Michael
I am a new post-op but I had posed a question about protein coffe.  A suggestion I recieved was IDS-Whey powder protein (Vanilla/Cinnamon).  Mix the powder in about 4-6 oz of water then add your coffee to it.  The trick was adding the hot to the cold and not vice versa (keeps the lumps out).  But for cold coffee I am not sure if it will help.  The taste is pretty good.  For me right now it is helping to keep the hunger attacks down.  And I use decaf coffee.

Hey!
I have not been mixing my American Whey Vanilla with coffee; I use fat free or skim milk (using water is yuck!) I do have a question though: some people have said that its better to drink decaf coffee/tea....is it better?

My Nut said that coffee stimulates hungry- so I limit my coffee to one a week mixed with mocha cappicino protein mix (makes a good cappicino drink)
