Was thinking about hot chocolate today in cold rainy and windy Chicago.... Nothing I could buy on my grocery shelves

If you have chocolate Protein powder, you can mix it with cold milk and then slowly heat it up. That way it won't clump.

Worth a try?

Valentina! Genius idea!!! That will hit the spot. I actually avoid my chocolate shakes- too heavy!- but this is a great way to use them! Thank you! It's like November here right now- damp and cold.

We can have Decaf tea or coffee as part of the clear liquid phase - before even leaving the hospital! MUST be decaf, and it probably goes without saying to not dump in a ton of sugar :-)

I've been enjoying coffee since my second month post-op.

Real coffee, too.

Very grateful for it.

Years ago there was a study that showed that coffee caused dehydration, and these results are often cited by nutritionists and doctors to this day. However, this was a small study, and numerous studies since then, have found no such association. Here is one recent study that found no link for moderate habitual coffee drinkers:

Wait a few days and check the news.......... Seems pretty much everything that was bad for you a few years ago, is now healthy. Even life extending. The kicker is the Docs seem to go along recommending whatever is flowing in the mainstream at the time. Go figure. Kinda like pushing whatever meds their suppliers are giving them the best deals on.

I used to think I could find out the facts if I did enough research. But as scientific results go......it usually ends up being only the results they were seeking, so no credibility there either.

I usually just recall the person or people I have occasionally seen on TV....... off in some remote area of the globe.....that

have been puffin on cigars since puberty or ate nothing but lamb everyday of their life and are sittin smugly smiling for the cameras at the ripe ole age of 103....with no end in sight.

That being said......I just bought me a Keurig and a huge variety pack of pods. Enjoy

With approval from my surgeon and NUT, I drink 2 scoops of my Protein powder mixed with my Decaf coffee in the morning. It gets me going and gives me 50gms of Protein to start my day! (For this purpose,I choose cinnamon bun flavored protein) then I usually eat as normal (low carb-high protein) or sip on an Isopure throughout the day. I'm 8 months out and 127 lbs down! Good luck

@@UalreadyKnow where did you get the cinnamon bun flavor protein? Sounds great for my coffee.< /div>

I very much enjoy Iso 100 Protein Powder, I once read an article on here about how all the powders come with added glutamine and stuff like that, and "that"added protein comes from hair and fingernail particles. Ewwwwww, so this stuff is as clean as it gets no nails in my protein please it's pure whey isolate and tastes amazing IMO! I buy at nutri pro or Vitamin shoppe

It's good!

My first drink 3 days post-op was a coffee with milk served in the hospital.

I thought that the choice of drink was a bit strange. Neither my surgeon nor NUT ever told me not to have coffee or to limit the quantity. I drink 2 to 3 "real & strong" coffees a day. I never experienced heartburn or acidity. I guess I am lucky.

[Myka99 42]

Oh my, I am also aloud Decaf coffee but never thought of adding Protein Powder to it....thank you @alreadyknow I will be sure to try this and see I'd I can find the iso in this neck of the woods!

[curvybritt 53]

I was drinking coffee 7 days out, with approval from my team. I'm sure it would be fine, just ask them maybe.
