I was a coffee drinker prior to and still am post op- my dietician recommended reducing the caffiene. So I switched to half caf folgers. It's not bad. Absolutely NO SODA. And caffiene in large amounts from what I understand can act as a diaretic (sp?) and can cause dehydration from what she told me. But who knows every doc out here seems to be different.

hope this helps

So Pre-op I was a huge Diet Coke fan. I drank almost a 12 pack a day - to the exclusion of everything else!!! So you can imagine the lovely withdrawl I went through:blink:

So now I am 1 month post -op and have not had any caffeine in 5 weeks and doing fairly well. I really do not have any desire to go back to the Diet Coke, but I think I might like a regular cup of coffee or Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee from time to time. So does anyone know the deal with caffeine? I was told that I would need to give caffeine up once I had the surgery. I just wondering why - the nutrionist never really gave me a straight answer. Why is the caffeine so bad for bansters???
