Liquid Intake???

Ok so I'm over 9 months out and still have issues getting all my liquids in.  My question is does decaf coffee and decaf tea go towards my water intake or not?  I should really know this being this far out.  I try to at least drink a bottle of water a day, and a couple bottles of crystal light decaf tea.  But I still have bathroom issues all the time!!  What doesn't help is that I am pregnant and the increases iron is killing me!!  FYI - Birth control pills DO NOT work after gastric bypass..  (pass it on)...

Hi Gayle....Oh boy! Our doctors have told us that women become very fertile after WLS! I guess it is true.

As long as the tea and coffee you are drinking is decaf, it is counted as a water. Caffeinated beverages are a diuretic, so they tend to not hydrate you at all.
