Hey guys! Starting to research the best protein coffee options for when I’m ready to drink caffeine again. Everything seems so expensive and I don’t like buying before I try something so it’s been a tough one to navigate. Does anyone have any recommendations?

We have a few protein coffee options at https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/coffee/product-type_protein-coffee

I mix black coffee with a chocolate premier protein shake and I love it!!!

Do you use regular or decaf? And if it’s regular, how long after surgery were you able to have it?? (I quit cold turkey 4 mos ago and I miss it so much!!)

Regular and I was about 4 months out!

My team never made me quit caffeine, although I did for the week before and at least the week after surgery. Maybe two weeks? Then I started drinking caffeinated black tea now and then. I was probably at three weeks before I could handle any kind of coffee, and aside from drinking decaf just for the flavor (the BP store sells an acid-free variety), I really enjoy mixing a shot of espresso with a chocolate Muscle Milk protein shake. (My team doesn't allow Premier, but I remember the flavor from some fad diet or other when I tried them in the past: that's also really good.)

I'm not quite a month out. Coffee's the best ☕️
