Where do you buy the "chike" Protein?

And does it have caffeine? I found that when I gave up coffee in April, I started sleeping through the night. I hadn't slept through the night without help in YEARS. I may never do caffeine again! :-)

I think it has a little. I only drink one first thing in the morning. Its the only Protein shake I can tolerate. The rest make me want to hurl. I put 3 ice cubes in, Water and then blend it.

You're going to have to wean yourself off before surgery. Really no way around it. You'll make yourself physically sick if you drink caffeine too soon post op.

And stopping caffeine gives you a headache for about a week. Best to get that over with before surgery. You don't want to have a constant dull headache on top of the normal first week discomfort.

I am 2 months post op. I am sad to say I was craving coffee so bad yesterday and stopped to get me an iced latte at McDonalds with fat free milk and sugar free vanilla Syrup. I felt so guilty for drinking caffeine (they didn't offer it in decaf). I don't smoke anymore (smoked for 17 years) don't drink pop or alcohol. Needed something to unwind from a stressful day at work. Now worried I will make that a bad habit!!

I have a couple flavors of Decaf for our kureg at work, I add SF Torani Syrup (salted caramel is my fav) and a little SF flavored creamer.....tastes decadent but no caffein, no sugar, and about 30 calories. I often have 1 if I get cold at work or if I feel the need to snack. And once a week or so I have the fully leaded version.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
