Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 What is the majority consensus on caffeine? We do Lap band and RNY and patients are told no caffeine at surgery but I am wondering when it would be appropriate to tell them they can start drinking a cup of coffee in the morning. I assume main reason is it is gastric irritant vs. diuretic? I read that caffeine is only a diuretic if provided in excess >500 mg per day I think the research stated. Let me know what you all think! Thanks, Theresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
