I've noticed a lot of people post that they drink Chike coffee so I searched it online.  I didn't see a decaf product.  I thought we had to give up caffeine forever.   Do you make your own by adding powder to decaf or did I miss something?

For many programs (check with yours) the coffee/caffeine prohibition is only in the early days/months. Caffeine acts as a diuretic and thought best to avoid early on when you are having to really concentrate on getting enough fluids.

I thought it was forever.   I can't wait to call my doctor's office tomorrow

I drink a ton of caffeine.  Might not be the best.  I was off of it for a little bit right after surgery.  The reason they wanted me to avoid it was b/c it can dehydrate you.  I drink a ton of liquid, so it hasn't been a prob for me.  Definitely ask your doc.

Caffeine slows healing.  

Once you're healed you're no different than anyone else.  It will never be recommended as a healthy additive, though.

You should be weary of any doctor who says never...unless it involves common sense like never jumping in front of a train. 

I drink coffee like my life depends on it. It's not the best and I have to be careful bc of the effects on my gerd and I have to be sure to space out caffeine and some vit supps.

Click has a version that is decaf.  it's mocha flavored though.  I mix it with milk.  But you really have to mix it with one of those bottles that has the metal ball, or use a blender.  It doesn't mix well with just a spoon.  It is good though.  Here is the product:

I tried the Chike once and was bouncing off the ceiling.  way too much caffeine for me.  I now drink the Click decaf mocha coffee protein shake and add a spoonful of instant coffee for the right amount of caffeine.  Delish - I have it every morning!
