As I sit here this beautiful and sunny Labor Day relaxing in my sunroom with my coffee, I have to ask....Will I still enjoy my coffee after surgery? Why is it that there is a no caffeine rule? What about decaf coffee? I quit smoking a couple of years ago and coffee is my new vice. I really enjoy it and I think I'd be ok if it was decaf.

What are your thoughts? Do you still drink coffee?

It's 2:49AM. And I'm thinking about coffee right now... Mmmmm coffee....

Coffee all day every day here. Black coffee so no worries about added calories. And as has been pointed out here, actual science (yes, real published peer-reviewed science) shows that coffee won't dehydrate you and in fact hydrates you just as well as water does. I am perfectly healthy and not dehydrated despite having coffee as my main source of liquid (by far) for the vast majority of my life, starting at age 11. Including since surgery. My PCP told me that living off black coffee may well have saved me from having even the smallest inclination towards diabetes even when I was over 350 lbs. Coffee is good for you!

i have my premier shake (30 grams of protein) every morning in my equal amount of coffee no added sweetener because the vanilla protein shake is flavored sometimes i have it hot and on weekends when i have time i added ice and an extra scoop of protein unflavored powder and blend.

Couldn't resist... One more
