"Does Caffeine dehydrate you?
Answer: it is a Diuretic which means that it causes your body to loose water, because it takes more water for your system to process it through the kidneys. Other diuretic drink are soft drinks and tea.
Caffeine is a diuretic but the most recent studies have shown that although caffeine causes a mild diuresis, it is similar to that of water. “In the 10 studies reviewed, consumption of a caffeinated beverage resulted in 0 to 84 percent retention of the initial volume ingested, whereas consumption of water resulted in 0 to 81 percent retention." Additionally, regular consumption of caffeine reduces the diuretic effect unless consumed in large quantities (500-600 mg/day).
Of course, this opposes what we have heard for decades and what many will continue to repeat."

My surgeon says he will not tell anyone they can't have their tea or coffee. He does want us to be aware of what we put in the drinks (ie, sugars, cream, etc.).
I drink 2 big cups of coffee every morning.. extra caffeinated aamof.. and am doing well. I drink water & crystal light the rest of the day. Occasionally I'll have coffee in the afternoon too, but that's rare, maybe every 2 weeks? If I want something warm, I usually make herbal tea.
Everyone has to do what is right for them. I just wanted to present another viewpoint. :)

I cut out the caffeine because I was drinking a whole pitcher or more a day. (as well as the diet sodas I used to drink) Moderation seems again to be the key :)

My only excuse is that today has not been a great day. I was awoken at 2am this morning by my husband with the news that our neighbor's house was on fire and he needed me to help find their phone number. Fortunately the neighbor is a nail tech and I had her number in my cell.
Luckily they were out of town. By the time we found the fire, it was so far gone, no one would've survived. The house is a complete and total loss.
I probably shouldn't be posting at all.
