Iced latte with a splash of vanilla protein was my lifeline around the 20 lb mark when my stomach went on strike before noon. Cold brew versions sit even easier for me if hot stuff feels iffy. Some days a double shot of espresso and water is all I can manage and that's fine too.

Coffee order for a low-appetite morning like today?
How long did the food noise take to quiet down? Did switching pharmacies ever cause a gap for you?
Around week 6 on my end an iced cold brew with a splash of fairlife was the only thing that went down easy on queasy mornings, and honestly some days plain black was plenty anyway. Cold and barely-sweet beats hot milk for me when food is the last thing on my mind.
A shaken espresso with a little cold foam has been my go-to on mornings like that, especially since hitting the 30s down. Light and cold goes down way easier than anything milky when my appetite is nowhere to be found.
Cold brew with a splash of oat milk got me through my rough mornings early on at 0.5, and Tucson heat makes iced the only real option anyway. Hot anything just sounds heavy when nothing sounds good.
Hot drinks were a hard no for me around the 25 lb mark too, so I get it. My trick became an americano over ice with a pump of sugar-free vanilla, mostly water so it never felt like a meal I had to face.
Around 50 down here and cold drinks still win every time. I make an iced latte at home with half the usual milk, and if the morning is really rough it's basically coffee over ice with a cloud of foam on top. The lighter and colder, the more likely it actually gets finished.
Iced americano with a splash of whole milk has been my go-to on mornings like that too -- at this point in my loss I've noticed appetite dips hit hardest on shot day plus one, and anything hot just sits there untouched. The waterier the better, honestly.
How long did the food noise take to quiet down? How long before your labs started reflecting the change?
Sixteen pounds down and I still can't do hot coffee on the rough mornings -- a cold brew with a little oat milk goes down easy even when my stomach says no to everything else. The foam-heavy stuff someone mentioned sounds good but I never finish it.
Iced latte with half the usual milk works for me even on days the appetite is basically gone. Cold drinks seem to go down easier when my stomach is off, and the last sip actually gets finished instead of sitting there.
Down 55 lbs over the last year on this journey. Doctor was thrilled with my numbers at this visit. Third month in and the losses are slower but still coming.
Cold everything for me too. Around the 18 lb mark I noticed iced americanos with a splash of milk were the only thing that didn't feel heavy on the queasy mornings, so I just stopped ordering hot on those days.
Iced latte with an extra shot on the rough mornings, keeps it light but still feels like actual coffee. Yesterday I finally finished a whole cup for the first time in days. Down 62 on this stuff and cold drinks have never once let me down.
Cold brew with a splash of oat milk was my go-to on the queasy days, way easier to get down than anything hot. Funny how the appetite comes and goes even this far in. Congrats on finally finishing that cup yesterday, small wins count.
