ALWAYS listen to your wife. ;o) Oh yeah, and your surgeon too! Seriously though, caffeine is a baddy in many ways. It could irritate your pouch (or it might not - everyone's different). It dehydrates you - so for every cup of caffeinated beverage you drink, you need to drink 2 equal-sized glasses of water to break even. And I've also read it can be an appetite stimulant (which is enough to make me run FAR away from it). Are you sure you really *need* the jump-start from caffeine, or are you just set in a habit? Are you getting enough sleep? Maybe there's another way to energize yourself in the morning (a brief walk in the fresh air, for example)? Anyway - just a few thoughts...
