During the pre op liquid diet is it ok to drink 1 cup of caffeinated tea ??

I think they want you to say away from caffeine.

Obvs, follow your dieticians rules, but they told me no more than 8oz of caffeine a day during the pre op diet. Also herbal tea has no caffeine and tastes just as good

You should follow your surgical team's plans, but I drank coffee before & after surgery. I definitely preferred low-acid coffee, like "Big Trouble" blend from Counter Culture Coffee.

Now, 4+ years later, I've given up coffee. Caffeine kicks up my anxiety & I don't need the acid. Tea is working better for me.

Good luck! You are not alone!

Follow your dieticians recommendations. Mine said I could.
