So I've been reading these boards for awhile...just now decided to register and be a part of it! My surgery date is THIS Friday....I'm freaking out a little bit! I've had SO many questions answered on here, but one thing I'm unsure of as I've read conflicting things....is caffeine a yes or a no after surgery? Just wondering if I need to prepare myself for no morning coffee anymore! Any other advice or quick tips would be appreciated....LOVE these boards!!

My doctor has asked me to cut it out now prior and he said I wouldn't be allowed afterwards.... His reasoning is that after the caffeine pick me up... Your blood sugar drops and hunger ... Ie snacking would occur....

Good luck with surgery...

Congrats & good luck. MIne is scheduled for tuesday (so excited) My doctor told me no caffine the reason being we will be working so hard to stay hydrated & caffine is a diuretic which means it makes you lose water quicker. Hope that helps.
