'nother update

Well, it appears I have weaned myself from the coffee bingeing. I am back to doing what I am supposed to be doing. I'm back down to 233 lbs. I will be satisfied to get to 210, but I think it will be a slow go. Those last 20 lbs are the hardest to shed. 

Congratulations on kicking that nasty monkey off your back. Best of luck on the last 20. You'll do great, I just know it!

Coffee binging?

That's a way of life for me. I can't seem to get enough of those Folger's crystals. Maybe I could snort them or smoke them. Actually I never really felt right post-op until I started taking caffeine tabs, too. Really getting a lot of anti-oxidants from that stuff.

Benefits? Well, I never miss a daily dump, have lots of workout energy, I can choose when I get to have the energy. Coffee is one of those things that a lot of people do anyway.

Dx has the post on caffeine. I haven't seen it in a while, but if you drink a glass of milk a day, it's supposed to be okay.

You can do the last 20 lbs if you want, I'm sure Just replace two meals with protein shakes and do 30 minutes of cardio a day.

Good Luck,

Dave

 

You jest but, I have actually known people while I was in the military that snorted that nasty MRE coffee.  Go figure.  The old c-rat coffee was much better to snort.

David, Congratulations on weaning yourself off of the coffee.  I quit caffine completely last July.  It wasn't easy in the beginning, but I am happy I did it. I had my surgery in January and seem to have lost my taste for coffee since then.  I used to drink several cups every day (decaf. after July).  And no I have no desire for it whatsoever.  I have switched to herbal tea. Good luck with your last 20 lbs.
