Is it correct that we can never have caffeine again? I had decaf for about 4 months and have since returned to my daily cup of joe and have had no issues. Do I need to stop?

I was told by my Nutritionist at week 8 that I could have coffee if I so desired. There is no medical reason not to. All I have to keep in mind is: Do I tolerate it? I'm I using common sense is how I drink it? Obviously, I don't want to be drinking too much. It can be absorbed too quickly and give you jitters. A smaller cup is all I need now. I can use my pretty mugs that before where way too small.

At my six month check up I was told one cup of coffee per day is ok.

My friend had the sleeve in June and she was drinking coffee the next week it's all preference I suppose and depends on how you do at her 6 month check up she was down 95lbs she's almost to her goal 10 lbs left!! I go on jan 12 for my little course and meet the anesthesiologist

Do I need to stop?

Sure caffeine is a diuretic . . . so is water . . . "diuretic" just means it makes you pee. And caffeine is barely more diuretic than water so if you are going to stop having caffeine because it's "diuretic" you should probably stop drinking water too.

Coffee won't have any dehydrating effect on you unless you are unused to drinking coffee and drinking tons of it. There may be plenty of other good reasons to avoid or limit coffee/caffeine, but potential dehydration isn't one of them, at least not for most of us.
