Hi everybody. As I am getting back into things, I know I shouldn't have caffiene because of the dehydration factor, but I also know that it's not good for RNYers, but I can't remember why. Can anyone help me? Please and thank you.

Hey Sharyn, you're right on, caffeine is a diuretic, and consuming it makes it easier than ever to get dehydrated, caffeine is also a grade A irritant to the pouch. As for myself, anything more than 1 or 2 cups of half-caff wears on my pouch over time.  It is also said that caffeine is an appetite stimulant, in other words, it makes you more hungry. Hope you had a good time yesterday,  Doug

Thanks for the info Doug. That's very interesting. I have been drinking more coffee lately to keep from eating. However, it's coffee from home and not machine coffee. I can;t drink machine coffee at all. I guess I should try to find a way to cut back. Now how am I going to stay awake at the computer and keep from munching?

Yeah, It's nice to have something to sip on. I like good decaf. I'm just passing along what we were told. But if it works for you,  who am I to say!!!

Sharyn I have been buying at Walmart caffiene free Arizona Stress RX green tea. It is wonderful and keeps me from accumulating too much fluid with my CHF.  It has some chammomile, ginsing and valerian root in it. It helps keep me from being so stressed and has NO caffiene.. Pretty tasty too. Love and Hugs Laura

   Sharyn!!!I have mised seeing you post. Glad you are back. I drink tea and coffee without problems... I think you have to see what your body can handle. I do have to work on getting in enough other fluids though. I am o glad to see you on the loosing side again! I  am staying stable give or take 5 pounds since last Dec other than when I had the bowel obstruction in March, then I lost more but have put it back on and stopped right where I was before..around 137, I am thinking about plastics.. who did yours?  Keep osting... missed you!

Hi Pam!!! I have missed you guys too. I'm just incredibly busy. Dr Martin did my plastics. I just wish I had the money to get the rest of the work done!! I'm hoping to get around 135 myself and hover there.
