I drink half caff...no problems

I've cut back since surgery, but never gave it up

Caffiene is a diuretic so it's possible that it's advised against because wls patients have a harder time getting in needed Water intake and thus could become dehydrated easier. I still drink tea, but I make sure to get over my required water intake too.

I managed to give up my tea and am drinking Decaf which tastes like twigs and grasshoppers. It is a better alternative than green tea which tastes like feet. I would be really hard pressed to give up artificial sweetener. I have given up everything else. The sweetener will go kicking and screaming.

If you can manage it you will be just fine without it! If you can't well...then I guess you just can't?

Check with your surgeon. Everyone is different. I was back on my cup a day of coffee after 1 week post surgery.

I was allowed to have tea and coffee at 3 weeks post op.

My nut said we can have coffee after the pouch is fully healed. Thank goodness

Don't know why, but since my surgery I'm drinking more coffee than I ever have before. Doesn't seem to be slowing my weight loss, but maybe that's because I drink at least 72 oz of other fluids every day as well. (Glub, Glub!)
