Caffiene And Pre-Op

[FatGirlSlim 115]

I am suffering y'all. I am trying to do this pre op diet without coffee and my head is about to pop. Is there anyone that can suggest a substitute caffeine to help take the edge off this withdrawal?

Help me. I don't think I can do this for another six days.

If you're allowed, take a tylenol for the headache. It is SO worth it to have the caffeine withdrawal done before you hit the post-op period. It's just one less thing to have to deal with after surgery.

Good luck! I know it's tough right now, but it's SO worth it in the long run!

Whoa! Do not stop caffeine cold turkey! Slowly cut it out. Have a small amount today and a little less tomorrow and by the third day you should be fine!

I agree with this. This is pretty much hoe I did it and I came off it fine. Don't let yourself suffer through it.

You can do it. I was a coffee addict prior surgery and I made without caffeine on my pre op and post op diets. Is hard but is necessary ,You will do fine.

I had to switch to Decaf when I found out that I had high blood pressure. Now I've been drinking it for so long I can't tell the difference anymore.

I suffer from this issue too! I cannot give up coffee!!! I cannot function without it. I did quit for 2 weeks but then I started again Best of luck on your Journey!

Too late. This is my second day without it no turning back now. I guess

I have Tylenol but it only takes the edge off for a short while. But at this point I plan on popping another dose

Thanks everyone. I'm trying to stick with this. Good thing is I lost 1 lb in a day ha.

I drink decafe coffee now but I hear ya. I did it cold turkey too and was a mama bear for a week. But it was nice to wake up in the morning and not need anything after that. I still miss my buzz from diet colas in the afternoon.
