That depends on your surgeon. I could have caffeine after four weeks. Some people get served coffee right after surgery.

But some people believe that caffeine is dehydrating, even though more recent research shows that that's a myth.

And some people have bad reactions to caffeine, for lots of reasons not at all related to surgery.

I've never had the skinny vanilla latte. Is it really good? I always worry because there's no actual sweetener in them. Is the sugar free vanilla Syrup sweet tasting at all? I don't really have a sweet tooth at all, but certain things taste better with a little sweet taste to them. Also, are the egg white bites good? I'm not a big fan of egg whites normally, but I'm trying to branch out more these days.

Sugar Free syrups are very sweet. They are made with artificial sweeteners. I agree that coffee and tea need sweetness!

For any fellow pre-sleevers, there are two or three teas that Starbucks has, that are zero (0) calories, just add stevia. I personally get the passion tango tea, with stevia. Definitely something to quench my thirst, tastes great, and I can drink it during my pre-op diet phase.
