Hi All,
I'm preparing for my surgery in late November, and I started my first week of a 5 week Optifast diet. It's not bad, I don't mind the shakes though the hunger pains are rough and the lack of energy is making work tough, but I'll manage. I have been on decaf coffee for over a year, but because I'm on Optifast and I am not supposed to eat anything other than the shakes, and because I like cream in my coffee, I've been off it. However, I'd really, REALLY love some coffee in the morning. Does anyone know of or have experience with some type of coffee creamer or whitener that I can use and not blow my Optifast-only diet? I'm tempted to just mix up a vanilla Optifast shake and use it, but the instructions indicate that it "should be consumed immediately after preparation".
Any ideas would be appreciated, I just want a cup of coffee... Thanks.
I like the Orgain protein shakes very much. You can get this at Costco or order on line. I like them as they don't have a lot of additives/garbage and taste pretty decent. I add a little vanilla. They come in Chocolate and Vanilla. Sometimes I will add a half of banana and I use almond milk so very low in calories as well.

I hate sweet protein shakes, too
For me reductan, this is really a very good product. For a 7-week period I lost 10 pounds. Very good result for me
It is better to drink coffee with milk. Milk softens the effect of caffeine and so gradually wean.
Since having gastric bypass in 2009, I lost over 200lbs but I've gained like 80lbs back. Can anyone tell me a successful diet they've been on? I need to lose this weight! Thanks in advance
I'm also from the Boston area! Having my surgery in Boston in a couple of weeks.
I'm using half and half (half caf half de-caf) in the morning, then decaf after that.

This board doesn't get much traffic. You'd be better off asking in the group dedicated to which ever surgery you had.
