  1. I'm nearing the end of 6 months of prework that my insurance requires pre op; the dietitians I've been working with have had me ween myself from 4 liters of diet cola per day down to 1 quarter caff. coffee per day. They'd like me to be caffeine free by surgery ( guessing my date will be mid Nov.). I also attend a support group through my Bariatric clinic; people in the group who are post op said they started back to a cup of coffee per day about a month post op; said it helped with energy levels and constipation.
