Caffeine Before And After Sleeve

[traceyc 89]

Reading through some of the posts on here I have seen several people have given up caffeine either before or after getting sleeved. I am curious if you did give up caffeine if this was requested from your doctor and what the reasons were? My doctor and nutritionist did not say caffeine was off limits, but I am curious if there are known or suspected complications.

Caffeine tends to dehydrate you! So it's best to stay away, at least for a while. I don't generally have caffeine, but I know some folks here on the board do eventually have a cup of coffee a day. I'm sure others will post more. Just be sure you are taking in enough fluids. And I would wait till things settle down.

I was asked to avoid caffeine for a month after surgery--it can irritate stomach tissue. I started drinking coffee again at five weeks and I'm fine with it now. I have a cup or two a day.

you can have as much as you want.. I started with the hot tea and coffee it would put my stomach at ease and relax everything. Start them the same time you can have Soups. I drink 1000mg a day for a year now zero side effects other than sleep if i had it to late in the day. my doctor had the sergery and he drinks coffee all day as well..

My nutritionist and doctor have not banned caffeine for me, but I've decided to kick the habit prior to surgery. My primary motivation was just to avoid the withdrawal symptoms during my recovery should I not be able to fit in any caffeinated beverages. I've been a hardcore user and have been known to drink a 24oz cup of coffee, and 2-3 Coke Zeros throughout the day. So far, so good. I haven't had any caffeinated beverages since Tuesday.

They told me to only do Decaf but I do have sometimes some real coffee, about 4 oz every other day I think is alright, as long you are drinking your daily Water
