Can I have a Mocha drink with real coffee?

[LAN2k 18]

Hi all I found a High Protein Drink called Perfectly Protein Mocha Cappuccino by Bolthouse Farms...it's a 32 Fluid oz bottle with 40 grams of protein. It has real coffee in it. Any one know if it's okay to drink something with real coffee at 16 days out? i'm sipping it right now and it is amazing. It goes down easy and is not too sweet and perfect taste.

I am not sure if I can have coffee!!! This stuff is smooth, thin and positively great. I got it in the refrigerator section in produce in Waldbaums Super market where they have specialty drinks. You can probably call your local markets and ask. Or go online and see if you can't get it that way.

How many carbs per serving?

[LAN2k 18]

Okay good question, 10 grams Protein per 8 oz. 29 carbs/8 oz.

[Tiffykins 672]

OUCHY, that's way too many carbs for my program, I would only be able to have 8oz because if I had the entire bottle, that's 116 grams of carbs. I don't consume more than 30 carbs per day.

There's some articles on here posted that suggest consuming too many carbs can lead to extra "hunger". That's the main reason I avoid carbs.

So maybe I can have 4 -8 oz per day just to add a little kick to my day, spice to my life etc. It is sooooooooo good, and I'll get 10 grams of Protein too!

You're fine to drink that Protein drink - they recommend not drinking coffee; however, there are some on here that started 6 days after surgery -- I waited until I was on mushies before I started drinking coffee -- and then it was about 1/4 cup -- now I can drink an entire cup between 6 and 8 am and don't seem to have any issues with it.

I would definitely watch the carbs though - that's a lot if you drink the entire thing.

I'm so glad because it is thin, smooth and delicious a refreshing change from all those foamy, or thick Protein Drinks, and only 4 oz in the morning satisfies and keep the carbs down. Thanks VegasAngel.

I'm Englisg so for me it's tea. I have just gone for it. No one said anything about tea being not allowed !!!

I found this yesterday at WHOLE FOODS. I LOVE IT! I am 8 weeks post op as of Friday. It has coffee extract & water(so not full coffe) and it is soooo good. Yea the carbs suck! 27grams. But it has a lot of the Vitamins we sleevers lose. B12, Magnesium, B6, Calcium, Vitamins A&C, and Zinc. I got a 15.2 oz bottle for $2.99 & it has 19G. Of Protein. WHOOT WHOOT!

I have been drinking coffee from about day 4. But that sounds like to much sugar : (

Oh man, this sounds awesome. I miss America.

Yep, coffee never left my diet for more than a week. I'd go nuts without it! I make my own Protein coffee almost every morning, but being able to buy one ready made once in a while would be nice.

Thanks for sharing your find with us! I'm hunting it down once I go back to the states on vacation.

coffee won't damage the sleeve, but it is a diuretic. If you can get your fluids down and the stay down, then why not? but as always this is IMHO. Check with your surgeon. Sometimes they just say no as a precaution for everybody early on.

The problem with coffee is that it has caffeine. Caffeine dehydrates the body, it's hard enough already to meet our daily requirements of Water without having to replace the additional that caffeine strips from our body.

And according to the label to get the 42grams of protien that is in the bottle, you would be consuming 712 calories & 116 grams of carbs.
