Decaf Coffee

[SKyriakakis 1]

Are there any dangers or negatives to drinking Decaf coffee?

My doc approved Decaf from the beginning. You just have to watch out if you put anything in it - milk, fat free cream, sugar, etc. - for the calories.

I opted to use milk in my coffee, then mixed my shakes with Water.

I drink decaf...just one daily. It's nice. I used to drink 4-5 reg cups of coffee a day. Having my Decaf is a nice ritual that feels like normalcy.

I am allowed 1-2 cups Decaf but haven't had it. I'm afraid if I have it, I will trigger going back to regular coffee. I haven't had it for 3 months so no need to start now

I was told I could have Decaf after two weeks. Regular coffee is allowed when I am 2 months out.

I drank a skinny vanilla latte on Saturday. It was really cold and I was outside a lot so I wanted to warm up. I drank about half and chucked the rest.

I am allowed Decaf coffee, but I don't think express come decaffeinated and I don't really like drip coffee. Aside from .that one cup I haven't had anymore coffee and don't plan to. I was a Starbuck's junkie and fear if I start having it again I will trigger my caffeine addiction and not be able to stop.

I am allowed Decaf coffee, but I don't think expresso comes decaffeinated (please correct me if I'm wrong. I would love to have the option for decaf) and I don't really like drip coffee.

My doc says no caffeine for two months post-op, but Decaf is okay - but like people say, being careful what you add in. I'm a starbucks addict (plain NF latte thank you!) and am starting to do half-caffienated to get ready for SOMEDAY moving up the insufferably long wait list for the surgery. I have the Verismo espresso maker at home, and use the decaf pods all the time and can't even tell is decaf really. Ask for a demo at a startbucks stand alone store - but tell them to use decaf and see if you like it. I was impressed.
