Started drinking decaf coffee.. Is this ok? Anyone else drink this daily?

Im preop, drink 4 cups coffee on my night shift or i will never make it. Whatever can i do??

Where do you buy the "chike" Protein?

I ordered it off amazon.

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

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.

FYI I found the chike nasty. Try a sample before you order a flat of it!!!

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.
