ZoeyBear 64 Posted June 22, 2015 I've read that we should avoid caffeine because it causes us to be hungry and it makes you retain Water. Has anyone lived on regular caffeinated tea with no problems? I can't stand the taste of decaf! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aprildr 12 Posted June 22, 2015 My surgeon recommends caffeine free. I followed it for the first two months. From what I recall him saying, it's more about not getting dehydrated while trying to keep 64 oz down after your surgery. I drink the occasional regular coffee and sweet tea and I'm fine. If the tea is super sweet my heart pounds a little fast but otherwise I'm ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
