Caffeine can dehydrate you.

Caffeine will bother the stomach sometimes. Tore mine up before surgery. It'd probably kill my little tummy now! But I'd kill three people for a diet dr pepper!

Caffeine is very irritating after surgery. Decaf is OK. I buy a good decaf like Dunkin' Donuts and it tastes pretty good.

My doctor said caffeine does nothing but dehydrate you. Won't hurt anything. I drink so much Water throughout the day that I am far from getting dehydrated, so every morning I have a Starbucks Skinny vanilla Latte with an extra shot!

caffeine is dehydrating and it is also a dietetic which is not good when everything we eat now we need to fully process and absorb. So no caffeine. honestly after a while you will forget. just be happy for the flavor and not cry for the zip.

It tends to stimulate hunger, too.

I was cleared for one cup of regular coffee per day once I got home from the hospital. I USED to think it was all the coffee giving me reflux and acid problems. NOPE.. It was all the CRAP I was eating that was laden with sugar and fat and refined flour. Coffee was the LEAST of my stomach problems. Go for it dude. Just keep up on your Water intake ;)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
