Caffeine??
Caffeine slows healing, and no doc will ever recommend it in a positive light for anything that I can think of.
They usually suggest you kick the habit at least for your recovery period - and I can tell you that it sucks!
About 6 mos post op, I redeveloped my diet coke habits and am a happy addict once again some 8 years later.
