Caffeine after nephrectomy

My wife had her left kidney removed in July due to a cancer diagnosis, although this was subsequently found to be a liposarcoma. At a follow-up meeting with one of the hospital's sarcoma nurses she was told to avoid caffeine. We forgot to ask if this was supposed to be a permanent change or just during the initial recuperation from the op. It's hard to find any real advice on this, as most of the items we've found are related to kidney diseases rather than a "missing" kidney. We appreciate of course that you're supposed to have a healthy diet and take care of the remaining kidney. Could anybody provide any help or guidance on this based on their own experiences please?

Regards,

Steve
