Pre-op shouldn't be a problem so long as you're not adding too much milk and sugar, which most people do with the savory spiced flavors of Chai. But post-op, may not be the best option for the first 4-6 weeks if it is caffeinated chai made with black or green tea. Granted it's a very mild amount of caffeine per cup, less than coffee. But your healing stomach will not like caffeine very much in the beginning and it can be dehydrating at a time when hydration is #1 priority.

I would google for kuerig chai and seek out the ingredients. There is such a thing as decaffeinated or Roobios chai, if you really like those flavors.
