coffee can cause ulcers as well...

I asked my doctor about this and he said in small amounts like two cups a day it doesn't. He is a mayo clinic doctor so I trust him. It is when someone is drinking coffee all day long, smoking, or taking Nsaids that could exasperate the propensity for an ulcer. Oh and h pylori bacteria too.

My doctor allows two cups a day. It actually helps me "go".

I've been totally regular since I've reintroduced it as well.

It's helped me too. I drink one cup in the morning with milk no sweetener.

Have you tried Chike Protein coffee flavored? It has 20 grams of Protein. I mix it with Water and three ice cubes blended in my ninja. Better than a frappucino!!

I do the same with the Click. It's like a mocha frappe every day!!!! I'll have to try the Chike. Didn't realize it had more protein.

I've heard the Chike flavors taste good. I have the chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and unflavored from Unjury and they taste horrible! How does the Chike compare in taste to unjury?

I tried the unflavored unjury and your right...it is awful!!

You totally have to disguise the lack of taste in something like Vitamin Water.

I have two, sometimes three cups of Decaf every single day. I was really worried about having to switch to decaf following my surgery but Keurig decaf K-cups are fabulous and I had no trouble at all. coffee is loaded with anti-oxidants and studies have pointed to a number of other health benefits as well.

I'm 21 months post-op, my weight has been stable at 155 for eight months and I have my routine down pretty well at this point. But coffee was my absolute go-to during the entire rapid weight loss portion of my journey and continues to be so to this day. Any time I'm hungry and eating is either not practical or not appropriate, I have a cup of coffee. It's filling, practically calorie free and delicious!

For anyone who might be interested, here are links to just a couple of articles from WebMD regarding coffee. Since coffee is so pervasive in our culture, there are many other very good sources for health information about coffee.

I have only tried the coffee Chike and love it. The vanilla Unjury is ok but I always get queezy after Unjury.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
