Why can't we have caffeine?

Moderation is key.  I will tell you from experience that I do run to lil girls room more when I do have the caffeine.  Its really weird how that works.  So on the days i do have caffeined tea/coffee I drink more water/crystal light.  If you can tolerate it, enjoy!  

I used to drink a ton of water before my surgery....like 5 or 6 bottles.   Not counting my coffee...i am having a rough time getting in 48 ounces.   Gotta keep trying and get it up to 64. Thanks all for the help! Pam

Pam,  I drink coffee.  Odd thing is, preop I almost NEVER drank coffee.  Guess this is MY transferred addiction.  lol  I got an idea for a protein drink from one that a girl on You Tube made in a video of hers, and I have one of those almost every day.  Some days, I've had two of them ... but I should limit it to one because of the protein count, honestly.  Here's the recipe:  1 scoop vanilla EAS protein powder (Walmart) 8 oz Calorie Countdown 1 teaspoon Nescafe instant Hazelnut coffee 1 teaspoon DaVinci sugar-free vanilla syrup 2 Splenda packets 2 ice cubes Whiz in my Magic Bullet just long enough to break up the ice cubes, and voila!  A nice way to start or end my day ... and 31 grams of protein to boot!
