caffeine free protein coffee?

[healthy2bemomof3 2]

So I was told NO caffeine after surgery, well before too. Now after surgery any fruity or vanilla and most chocolate Proteins or any Protein that has lactose is a NO-GO for me. I bought a tub of Syntrax nectar Cappuccino and have been drinking that every day but am getting TIRED of it- at least once a day for a month blah. I did add some vanilla Syntrax Nectar to some Decaf with some lactaid but it wasn't good enough to buy a giant tub.

I am tired of googling and reading, so does anybody know of a great caffeine free/lactose free product? Maybe even something with a lower level of lactose that i can experiment with.

And why do they make the yummy caffeine Proteins if we are supposed to avoid caffeine anyways?

I can have coffee pre and post op. But it all depends on what your NUT and Surgeon say. They might have reasons for that rule.

I know a lot of people like the Click Decaf Mocha Protein Powder. You can buy a sample here to see if you like it:

I think the Protein content is not really high (15g/serving) and it does contain milk.

About Time has a mocha mint flavor, you can buy a single serving packet here to try it out:

About Time is all natural. It is lactose free. It appears to be caffeine free although they don't explicitly say so. I have tried the mocha mint and while it is not my all time favorite, I thought it was pretty good.

Why protein with caffeine? Lots of doctors permit caffeine . . . I have added caffeine back into my diet with the blessing of the RD in my surgeon's office.

I have been drinking GNC LEAN Protein SHAKES....it's lactose free and gives you 25g Protein, 170 Calories. I showed it to my surgeon and he approved it. So I don't drink anything else They have then in chocolate, strawberry, Vanilla

A little off topic, but instead of making a new thread figured I'd ask here .... can you microwave a Protein Drink after it's been made? I tried the Unjury chicken Soup this morning (OMG WIN!) and it's gotten cold and I was wondering if I could like nuke it for a minute?

I admit I have not given up caffeine. I gave up my diet coke the day before my surgery on may 1st. I now drink Water with caffeine in it. I have cut back a lot but could not give it up totally because I work overnight. I am an RN that works 12shifts. You need a little bust at 3am when you are trying to get a baby out of a woman! The water I get is great because it has no taste. If I want I can add any flavor to it. I miss my diet coke but I love my new sleeve and 90 lbs loss more!
