Caffeine post op diet?

[strangecar 19]

I was told not to have caffeine but mainly because they only want me drinking either hydrating or Protein based liquids for the first two weeks. I found a coffee Protein Shake that has caffeine - does anyone know if that would be okay? I’m 3 days post op with VSG surgery. Thanks!

I Was told I could have tea, just not too much because the caffeine acts like a diuretic and it’s a challenge to stay hydrated. I understand the hospital will bring tea to drink so I would think it would be o.k. Does your surgeon have a dietitian you can email?

You can double-check with your dietitian.
