I REALLY miss my coffee. What about Espresso?

I am 1 month post-op (Open RNY). I'm pretty much eating what I want of regular foods, while watching fats, sugars and proteins. If I'm going to be a little short one day in the protein department - I'll have a shake to supplement. I've not 'dumped'.. or vomited.. or had diarrhea.. or ANYTHING resembling a 'complication'.. I feel great - EXCEPT.... I really miss my coffee. I've tried drinking a cup now and then. I can't get the whole thing down without warming it up several times.. and it takes me FOREVER to get it finished. I can't help feeling I'm missing the 'energy boost' that coffee used to give me (formerly 10-12-cup-a-day habit). Has anyone tried drinking Espresso post-op? I'm thinking that the concentrated caffein in the espresso, combined with the reduced volume, will give me the 'kick' I'm missing.. Can anyone give me any advise on this? (down 25 lbs/22 inches) THANKS..!!
