Both me, my mother, and two of my bestfriends all drink sodas, icetea, and
coffee, all with caffeine with no problems. Only the health nuts will tell
you that its bad for you... Or that the soda will cause problems with your
pouch. My aunt had this surgery over ten years ago and drinks soda all the
time and it has never stretched her pouch. Myself, mother and two friends
all drink sodas and we don't have trouble, my pouch hasn't stretched at
all.... So, enjoy!!!

I guess that I am going to be labeled a "health nut" after
telling you this... Caffiene can affect you detrimentally in 2 ways... 1.
It can affect your hydration status. It suppressed the ADH (antidiuretic
hormone release), that is why you urinate alot when you drink alot.. 2.
caffeine is an irritant.. maybe not as bad for the lapband people, but
definitely a no-no for the RNY. Soda is an irritant as well due to the
acids in it (carbonic acid), with caffeine - has the same drawbacks as
caffeine as noted above. Also the carbonation can make you uncomfortable
due to the gas bubbles. Any of the surgeons that I have talked to tell you
that you should stick to no/low cal decaf drinks and water.... good luck to
you...

I contacted my Nut last week about "decaf coffee and tea" last
week. She told me exactly the same as above with one additional reason NOT
to drink caffeine......caffeine will stimulate your appetite. She also
commented on the fact that caffeine robs you of nutrients. I don't know
about you, but with popping these vitamins and supplements all the time, I
don't want them to go to waste. Good Luck!

As the above folks answered, caffeine is crappy for us for several
reasons:
-it is a diuretic, and we are at enough risk for dehydration and not
getting enough fluids in without consuming things that will take it away
-it's also an irritant to the stomach lining,
-and it stimulates the production of cortisol, which stimulates insulin
production. The insulin production tells our bodies to seek and store
energy and stimulates our appetites to get more sugar/energy.
These are the reasons we are told to avoid caffeine. Just because we can
have it and tolerate it, doesn't mean we should have it.
