coffee/ thanks

I would like to thank all that replied to my earlier post. It seems like with everything else in life moderation is the best answer. Herb

Coffee.....one of my morning rituals for decades. However, after WLS, I learned that caffeine causes dehydration. So, I started a 50-50 blend of decaf and regular and then slowly down to 75 decaf to 25 regular. That's what I drink now, just a little kick, but not much. I really don't need caffeine...I just like to know I'm having coffee. But a great cup of joe to me is a cappucino flavored with hazelnut and topped with whipped cream and powdered cocoa. And I can handle about 1/3 cup of that and that's not much. Yep, it's in the moderation part. Just remember for the caffeine you take in, your body gets dehydrated...so drink more water!
