Tina (coffee, to have or to have not?)

[Guest guest]

Hi Tina,

I agree with another poster who said that we do so much with this

process, we do deserve certain indulgences. For me, it is definitely

coffee. I had NONE for almost the first 6 months post op. Now I do 2

mugs of decaf every morning. I mean, I gave up a nearly 20 year

smoking habit to have surgery, carbonation and caffeine, sugar, etc.

I do splurge on GOOD decaf, however. I get Millstone whole bean

coffee in Vanilla Nut Cream (decaf). Once I accidentally got regular

and oh boy! That was a lively week for me....I think that was the

last time I scrubbed the bathroom from top to bottom LOL

Unless you're buying Swiss Water process decaf, I believe that even

decaf coffee has TRACE amounts of caffeine. For me, it's enough to

get me going in the morning. Just make up for with the water, as

always!

Cheers!
