Caffeine

How many ounces of it do you drink daily and is it tea or coffee?

I typically (recently started) do about 16 oz per day of either coffee or green tea, sometimes decaffeinated. Caffeine does not irritate my pouch.

I hate to be the spoil sport and first reply but I don't have any ounces per day.  When I decided I wanted the surgery 12/11, I stopped all caffiene.  I had my surgery 7/31/12 and haven't really looked back.  Now, I feel all jittery with caffeine.

Best,

I drink about a gallon of iced tea every day, and have since surgery.

I drink coffee all day long with no issues but awakeness - lol

my doc allows one serving a day starting at 6 mo post op. I've chosen to have none, but then again I don't like coffee so mine came from pop which I will no longer drink

i drink 2-3 16oz cups of tea a day, and 1-2 cans of diet soda, so i have a lot of caffeine. but i drink A LOT, i always have. it's probably close to 200 oz of fluid a day

I've had to cut back again, I notice when I drink too much caffeine my loss isn't as great.  Really I think it has to do more with the non-replenishment of real fluids.  For every caffeinated drink you drink, you have to replace it with an equal amount of water.  I struggle on a good day to get in 64oz, let alone a day I drink 1-2 coffee drinks.

So now I've cut back down to 2-3 coffee drinks a week.  For me it's not irritating my pouch but hinders my progress on my overall fluid intake.  I still need to work on this alot more!

I have one cup of caffeinated coffee every morning.
