I AM A COFFEE LOVER
(Almost sounds like we need a sort of "disney" hat as Revisioneers..... ha ha What sort of ears would it incorporate????? I might have to craft one!) 
I am a coffee lover. I drink (or rather DRANK) 3 nice cups a day after my RNY up until 2 days before my hernia/revision surgery. So, I have been dying being a Coffee Celibate... sort of.
So, I decided to go Decaf...
even tho it is against all that is good and decent!!! I haven't had much of it since my new surgery... but I find that it doesn't bother my stomach at all, as some foods do. Today I bought chocolate protein powder and tonight I am enjoying a Decaf Latte... made with decaf, 3 oz soy milk, and one scoop of choc powder. I microwaved the milk and powder, then frothed it, and it ain't that bad... altho it isn't the latte that I make with my espresso machine. Sigh....................
Doing very well today, much better, in fact, than the past couple of weeks... today I have less gas. Must be because I infiltrated the ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM last night with my own version of Poison Gas... This stuff could be bottled to rid the earth of all that is evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAUUUGGGHHHHh! I just warn my hubby NOT to lift the bed covers when I am in bed..... the cloud is practically visible. Oh! 
Well, bye for now!
How bout coming to the AZ Holiday party on Saturday night? Check out the AZ state forum posts for the details! You can bring a big mug of your new miracle drink (which sounds delish and is loaded with protein! Weigh 2 go!!!!)
No worries about killing the ozone.
I've already found that it is pretty hearty! In fact, at almost 1 year post-op....I am happy to report that all odors are pretty much under control!!! .....I know that if I have something fried and starchy/carby then EVERYONE suffers! So, I eat clean, lean and stay with my EVOO and all is well!!! My party invitations have picked up a little!!
Tell your DH to hang in there.....TIME works magic!

You are scaring me..... IF, in fact, we are related, I fear our mother would run away screaming. I cannot attend Saturday... Perhaps another month. We could have a "How to Survive the Cold Months" support..... w/variations on HOT DRINKS. I had hardly any gas yesterday...could it be because I did not drink the Isopure???? I will stay away from it yet again today, and then have some tomorrow, just to test. IF this is the case...does anybody want to buy an almost-full 7.5 pound tub of Strawberry Isopure??? Ug. It was about $75...(plus shipping.....) dumb. My husband was able to sleep unattended by the gas mask he is now wearing just to be in the house. ug again.
I was thinking, regarding the hat....could make a black 'disney' sort of cap, donned with felt intestines on top. Oh, the 'ears' could be (on one side) a stomach (minus the pouch), and for another 'ear', the pouch. Sounds really gross. But, do-able.
Well, I must trot, so to speak, to get my day started.

Hi Lizzie,
I am a Revisioneer and Mousekeeter also. I want to be the first member. I have no clue what kind of ears we need. I am not very crafty. Your coffee drink sounds really good. The Poison gas will slowly go away with time. But everyone needs a good gas mask. I am 5 1/2 months out and It seems nothing gets rid of it but I watch the fats and high carbs. It would be nice to meet you a Jeanna U Xmas party.
