Advocare Spark?

I know most doctors say don't drink caffeine after surgery. I don't drink soda but I love my morning Spark. Has anyone had success drinking this after surgery?

Googling the ingredients list it appears to be an energy drink. Since most of us are already on a Vitamin and supplement regimen I would suggest taking this into the nutritionist and discussing it with them to make sure it won't interfere. Caffeine is already debatable because of the potential to aggravate the stomach and increase the change of acid production. However, some sleevers have been able to drink it.

I drink two sugar free Red Bulls before Breakfast every morning and I've been just fine. I used Spark for awhile a few years ago and I wasn't a fan of the flavor, but once you are far enough out from surgery to be eating regular food, cafffeine isn't going to hurt you (at least not in my experience and I drink a ton of it).

Like BLERDgirl said, check with your nutritionist, although I tend to think she will tell you no just because they aren't going to against the standard surgical orders of no caffeine. Use your judgement. If you feel fine, go for it, if for some reason it makes you feel sick or doesn't sit well, don't drink it.
