Hi everyone! I've been reading these forums in anticipation of my own surgery which is scheduled for March 16th. I apologize if this topic has been mentioned before, but I wonder how many of you drink coffee? I have given it up for my pre op diet and I know I won't be able to have it initially, but I'd love to have it eventually. I drink mine with a teaspoon of non dairy powder and a packet of splenda or sweet and low.

I drink coffee without issues.

Here is the interesting thing - my nutritionist told me that caffeine is really not a big deal. She said that more recent studies on caffeine being a diuretic have shown that the effect is negligible if anything. She told me that because pf this, caffeinated drinks do count toward my daily H2O intake. SWEET!
