I've had a hard time drinking water. Other things go down fine, so it's my personal taste that is getting in the way. Today I was desperate and drank green tea so I could get my fluids in. I brewed it at home, no sweetener, and it is weak. My surgery was 1 week ago, I'm so scared I messed up big time and will create an ulcer. Going to get ahold of dr on Monday for their advice but wondering if anybody has been in the same situation or has any tips for me.

Next time look for decaf tea and you'll be fine. Try dome of the fruity herbal flavors. It's important you drink so you don't get dehydrated. One drink won't kill you or create an ulcer. You're okay.

I was allowed decaf tea from the 2nd day after surgery. If it was not decaf, 1 cup of tea is OK, I'm sure. I had iced tea in a restaurant shortly after surgery, don't think that was decaf, don't worry

one cup of tea is ok!!!!.....I had coffee the day after and every day since, a real no no to have coffee but im just being honest

A single cup of green tea will not cause you to have an ulcer.

If you're seriously concerned about ulcers, google "what causes stomach ulcers."

You will give yourself an ulcer if you worry too much about trivial things such as consuming a cup or two of green tea.
