I have a little half mug of regular coffee mixed in with my vanilla protein powder in the morning. I saw someone write about only having decaf. Is regular ok?

I use either, I just prefer the taste and after effects of the "light" Maxwell House.

I've never had a problem with coffee, as a matter of fact, DH had to stop at first store he came to that had good coffee and get me a large cup on the ride home from the hospital.

I'm on my third cup of the day.

coffee? Yes please, make mine a quad americano with cinamon and room!

Search "coffee" and/or caffein (but spell it correctly for better resutls ) and you will find all the really great conversations about this subject

Another addict here. I have 2-3 cups of the real thing every day with sweetener and either real milk (at home) or Coffee-mate (at work). Couldn't face the world without it.

I drink 2 large mugs of regular coffee a day. When I went to the pre-surgery dietician, she told me that a cup or two would be OK. She just didn't want me drinking too much. I don't know that I could start my day with decaf, i need that jolt early in the morning. I tried to sustitute decaf for the 2nd cup but was getting terrible headaches,wasn't worth it.

My doctors rule of thumb is that coffee is allowed as long as you also consume 64 oz of water.

Hi all, I am also a caffeine fiend. My dietician said no coffee, but my surgeon said coffee in moderation. Since I work full time, 11pm till 7am, I definitely drink my coffee! Although now, I drink a ton of water throughout the day to counter-act the caffeine. And no, I don't tell the dietician!

Excellent advice.

Hay, what's DECAF?! Anyone heard of this stuff? Sounds awful!!!

Decaf is awful. They use the cheapest beans and the quality isn't that good either. Life is too short for bad coffee.

Life is too short for bad coffee. I'm adding that to my sig today. Can i quote you? Good one!
