I stopped when I started the 2 week pre-op diet.

I quit 2 weeks ago, and it was manditory for the 2 week pre-op diet. I still mourn my morning coffee ...I'll have it again someday!

I quit both a week before my surgery as I only had to do a one week pre op diet. But if you are a big caffeine drinker you might want to start weaning yourself a little sooner; just my opinion. Good luck to you!

My NUT said to start getting off caffeine 2 weeks prior, just because you don't want to have a headache while you're recovering. I think I switched to half caff for the first week and Decaf for the second. My surgeon told me that the alcohol just needed to be out of my system before surgery, so a couple days.

I drank diet coke up until the night before surgery - I was totally addicted! I did end up having a headache during recovery but the medication they gave me for pain helped and I haven't missed it since.
