Decaffeinated cold turkey.

No more Diet Coke for me. After years of drinking at least a 2 liter bottle daily I stopped, cold turkey, two days ago. Woke up this morning and the G_d awful headache is gone. Just goes to show that any habit can be beaten in time.

So, today started my pre-op diet. Atkins type. I now have to break the carb habit. I have been a carb-a-holic so this is gonna be fun (not!). I'm not much of a cook, but I made bacon (no sugar in the processing) and eggs for breakfast. It smelled so good, my son woke up at 6am to eat with me! Hmmm, an unexpected benefit :-)

Since I worked last night, I went to bed after breakfast. Now it's time for a protein shake. And maybe a bit of hard cheese.

The thing I'm finding hard is thinking through, in advance, what I'm going to eat. Just another lifestyle change I need to get used to. No more running to MickeyD's, or BK for me.:001_rolleyes:

This is something that you can do. I did it and I am sure I am a lot older than you. Coke Zero was my habit and I quite cold turkey just like you. I was lucky I never had the headache at all. Once you have the surgery, it will be a lot easier for you. Remember the 1st month after the surgery really is the most difficult because you are having so many changes going on in your life. Keep coming back to this site to ask questions and for support.
