Montana Gal 448 Posted May 10, 2016 My surgeon recomended "Major Dickinson's" Decaf blend...the brand is Peet's coffee. I used that before and after surgery, it did help and didn't have that weird decaf taste. Stick to your plan, you will be surprised at how fast 6 weeks go!

None of that action for me, thank you for offering, though. Hetero coffee fiend, here. That action is not for me either. No offer to you except to maybe buy you a cup of coffee.< /p> Enjoy this virtual cup of coffee! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daniotra 298 Posted May 10, 2016 Is Decaf OK? My plan allows decaf and highly recommends staying off caffeine permanently. I've been caffeine free for two months, and I'm doing pretty well at this point. I still forget and order regular sometimes (the people behind me in line love getting my mistakes).

OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted May 10, 2016 I had Decaf coffee on my tray in the hospital. I started cold brew coffee (lower acid) at 6 weeks, and I had it warm or cold. Coffee doesn't dehydrate you, that is a myth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clementine Sky 708 Posted May 11, 2016 I started having an equal mix of cold brew coffee using Trader Joe's Low Acid French Roast or Folger's Simply Smooth and Fairlife milk about 10 days post-surgery when I was given the green light for it. I then gradually altered the ratio so it was more coffee and less milk. It actually made me feel heaps better rather than worse. I also would have the Chike coffee flavored Protein powder.

dashofsunshine 875 Posted May 16, 2016 In the early days, I added a spoonful of instant coffee and sugar free Torani caramel Syrup to ice, vanilla Protein powder, and a little skim milk (or water). Blend it up, Protein frappuccino. I waited until a few months out for the real thing, but I drink it every morning now worth the wait. Glorious coffee!
