Dumb Question...
My nutritionist said the same thing Miss Vicki said.
According to my nutritionist - you would need to drink 2 -3 ounces of a decaffeinated drink (i.e. water) to off set 1 ounce of caffeinated drink. So in order to “enjoy" 1 cup of coffee - you would need to drink 16 ounces of water - just to get at the “same starting point" (0).
Since many have trouble drinking the recommended 64 ounces of water (liquid) a day - having a “caffeine" drink isn’t worth it.
There are those Doctors who don’t believe in this. So you may want to ask your Doctor for their opinion.
Good Luck on your Journey !!

this is what I read *Caffeine should be avoided after surgery because it is a diuretic. This will cause you to lose fluids and make it more difficult for you to keep yourself hydrated.www.obesityhelp.com/forums/rny/nutritional-guidelines-after- roux-en-y-gastric-bypass-surgery.html

Hi, looks like you got the correct answer but I wanted to offer my 2 cents. I'm an RN and love human anatomy. Caffeine is considered a diuretic as it irritates the bladder, hence urination and possible dehydration if not kept in check. Most folks get by ok but not RNYers. Lots of other drinks have caffeine so no soda, also. Watch tea and chocolate. Cocoa also has the added non-benefit of inhibiting the absorption of calcium. There is so much to learn!
