Diet Snapple Question

Hi there  peeps! I have a quick question. My surgeon's book states that we can have unlimited clear liquids for the first 7 days. In there it gives examples of broth, water, crystal lite, decaf hot or cold tea, sugar free jello and diet snapple. However, I have a question. if we are supposed to have caffine free products for the first 30 days, why is Diet Snapple ok? Does it not have enough caffeine to make a difference?

Every surgeon is different.  My surgeon said that I could have diet snapple as well, but it was too sweet for me even after adding water that I don't drink it.  This caffine issue is still a mystery.  Follow the instructions of you surgeon if you trust his/her post op knowledge. 

Thanks Shardon! I hope you are recovering well!

I just asked that same question the other day! My surgeon said that we can drink the non-tea Diet Snapples.  I am particularly fond of the Diet Mango Madness. Hope this info helps!

Thank you so much jl!

We werent supposed to have caffeine, either. In the hospital after surgery  I was served broth, herbal tea and diet Snapple peach  tea.............

Thank you Lorelei! I have drank the diet snapple peach tea too, so I'm glad to hear you say that!

So much has changed in wls protocal since I had the surgery. I was drinking coffee on day 2 and doc said it was fine as long as I could tolerate it. I would stick to the protocal is all I would do April....use those fruit flavored snapples!

Hope you are feeling good and healing fast!  

Thank you Janine! I appreciate your kind words!

There is diet snapple that isn't tea.  There are several different kinds of flavors, maybe that is what he meant?  Also try propel, it's a good way to get the liquids in you need.  I still drink 2-3 of them a day. Good luck
