yes. depending on how far out you are and your particular surgeon's suggestions, they may prefer you do Decaf tea for a while. an iced herbal tea (naturally caffeine free) might be a good option if they want you to lay off caffeine for a while.

note: the whole no caffeine thing tends to become a heated debate on here. So I will just say follow your practice's guideline on that.

I'm drinking diet tea from wawa in a half gallon container that taste pretty good. You can also make your own tea and mix some crystal light lemonade . It's good. I drink or sip on diet tea or Water through out the day. I got tired of crystal too. Talk with your dietician...

I drink diet green tea, make my own iced tea, and, use iced tea with lemonade flavor in a glass of Water.

Depending on any caffeine restriction your plan may have, the possibilities for liquids is endless.

I drink Decaf iced tea once per day (16 oz). My plan doesn't say no to caffeine, but I haven't had any in 46 days now, and since I was so addicted to it for my entire life, I am going to keep it out for now.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
