Sooo.. I was told no caffeine for two weeks before surgery... And I THOUGHT I was following that plan...I've been drinking the crystal lite raspberry green tea like crazy, not even thinking it would have caffeine.. I thought it was just flavored to taste like green tea, nope.. It's got instant green tea in it! Yes, pretty stupid, isn't it? Have I just doomed myself?... Why exactly are we not suppose to have caffeine pre-surgery?..
I should also mention I am allowed decaf coffee with sugar free syrups and non fat milk.. My hubby went to Starbucks yesterday and got me a grande frappucino.. I guzzled half of it and realized the order sticker on the cup didn't say decaf.. So I asked hubby and he said, "I forgot"... I figured that little bit of caffeine would be oK to let slide.. But after this tea ordeal, I dunno?
I'm gonna cry if I screwed myself and have to do this liquid diet even longer and delay surgery...
