Question Re: Pre-Op & Caffeine?
follow your own doctor's plan. this is your first rule for success. it doesnt matter what another doctor is ok with.
your doc probably doesnt want you having caffeine because 1. its a diuretic and will dehydrate you and 2. you need to wean off of it for surgery.
caffeine will dehydrate you and you cannot afford that post op. you cannot drink caffeine for a while post op because of the dehydration issue as you only take in so little it must be caffeine free and its not good for stomach healing.
wean off of it now, slowly, you may get headaches from the withdrawl. you will need to do that for post-op because if you drink caffeine newly post-op you are going to have a problem.
always, always, always, follow your docs plan!
*edit to add, dont take my firmness as meanness, im just very matter of fact sometimes when i respond. follow that plan and you will do great im sure. its very exciting your date is almost here! congrats

My doctor has cleared me to have up to 2 cups of caffeine per day. But I get headaches really bad when I withdrawal from caffeine so I have opted to just give it up all together. I know I may change my mind at some point because there’s just something about a nice hot cup of coffee on a cold winter morning (and my husband is not willing to go to decaf) but for now I will settle for my hot decaf tea.
