caffeine free protein coffee?



Recommended Posts

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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
