Caffeine

[JohnD]

I was researching the clear liquid phase online and found a source which said, "no caffeine for 3 months." However, OCC says coffee and tea are fine. I'm curious about why this discrepancy exists. What harm would caffeine do?

I think it has to do with caffine being a diuretic??? John, I honestly don't know why it is.....that is my best guess.

It is my understanding that it isn't an issue of the caffine, but the carbonation. Those bubbles will do a number on your band and can stretch your pouch. That is what I was told. I was told 6 months, but I still don't do pop. Was also told beer, champagne, or other bubbly things. I did beer one night but am also steering clear of that too.
