What's the big deal about caffeine?

I was just wondering about caffeine. I am 6 days away from surgery. I don't drink any kinds of soda or coffee but I do drink unsweet iced tea. Why is it that we are not supposed to have caffeine? Is it the caffeine or more the sugar that is found in these types of drinks? I don't know if I can give up my tea!
