I am 15 days out from surgery. I am drinking about ½ a cup coffee with half and half. I want to know if others are drinking to get your caffeine fix in.

I drank coffee as soon as it tasted good again to me after surgery. Coffee was even offered while I was still in the hospital, though it was pretty weak. After the DS, I drink it with way more half and half than I ever did before-just tastes better to me that way now. (I had to be satisfied with 1% pre surg)

I am 8 years out from RNY, and I do love my coffee!! I can remember when I was first out from surgery I did give up my coffee and my sodas that first year. But, I drink both in moderation now with no issues. Matter of fact I am drinking praline pecan flavored coffee right now as I type. LOL.
I could have had my coffee in the beginning as my surgeon really didn't say I couldn't have it, but I just couldn't get in what I needed to nutrient wise in the beginning so I gave it up.

i was served coffee the morning after surgery & i have a double protein iced coffee every morning.
never did soda of any kind - but will have a small cup of hot coffee in the morning black - then make my protein drink. it would be really hard for me to give up - more so for those around me.

I drink way to much coffee, liked it before surgery didn't think wanting it more was possibled but it's happened and I'm not willing to stop drinking it at this point.

Oh yeah, gotta have it. I make mine with milk like a latte (fat free milk). Gives me some extra protein since I can't digest powdered protein and I now vomit from the pre made ones (too sweet and the non sweetened ones are nasty, it's crazy!).

I am about six weeks out and I mix plain black coffee, warm water, and half a scoop of Syntrax Chocolate Truffle protein powder. It's a nice, warm start to the day.

I needs my caffeine!
Early out- I was drinking a RTD called WheyUp.. in grape flavor, over a lot of ice. It had about 100mg caf in it, tasted like a sour jolly rancher.. then they sold the company, and have not had production for a while.. and it looks like it will be too much $$ when they have stock.
I drink coffee with half & half, or use 1/3c Atkins van shake as a creamer (pretty good).. I was doing protein coffee, then decided I really prefer the taste of coffee sans a lot of protein.
Today I had 1 scoop Click, 3 spoons instant espresso powder, and 1/3 c Atkins plus 1 scoop unflavored protein in a big shaker. Not bad, though I'll ditch the Atkins- too sweet. No coffee, so this was something I thought would work.. def has caffeine in it! Plenty of protein too..
