Caffeine
Caffeine should be avoided because it can contribute to dehydration -- it's a diuretic. I was told that after a year or so I could have coffee again if I wanted it but to wait until my weight had stabilized.

Like Rich said - for the 1st year stay away from caffeine coffee. For every 1 cup of caffeine you drink you need to drink 2 cups of water (non-caffeine) to off-set it (start from 0). So if you have trouble getting 64 ounces of non-carbonate; caffeine-free liquids in daily - you'll have real issues if you add caffeine.
Good Luck on your Journey !!
